Universal Experts Support Settlement Trade Sanctions
The UN officials stated that the decision by 12 countries, including Britain and France, to ban trade with Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories is an important step in the right direction, but it is significantly overdue. They emphasized that the new measures announced by Britain regarding the Israeli occupation could indicate a fundamental change, especially with its acknowledgment of the Palestinians in the West Bank facing "ethnic cleansing." The steps include a ban on products from illegal settlements and measures related to the construction, funding, and trade of the settlements, including export licenses for weapons. This announcement is an acknowledgment of the importance of the settlements in occupying and annexing Palestinian land, and it reflects a development in the global stance against the illegal Israeli occupation.
