Britain denounces Israeli settlement growth and settler violence
Britain has affirmed that Israel's decision to issue tenders for the construction of settlements in the E1 area of the West Bank poses a direct threat to achieving a two-state solution. The UK government expressed its opposition to illegal settlement activity and the displacement of Palestinians. It announced measures included in a new law to ban the import of goods from illegal settlements and to activate sanctions against companies and individuals involved in settlement construction. The government urged companies not to submit bids to avoid legal repercussions and reputational damage. Additionally, the UK condemned attacks carried out by settlers against Palestinians, including targeting diplomats and members of the international community. It also voiced support for accountability and the need to take action to reduce violence in the West Bank.
