12 nations consider sanctions on Israeli settlements
Twelve countries, including Britain, Canada, and France, announced their intention to impose sanctions on trade with Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, in response to the escalation of settler attacks on Palestinian villages. Foreign ministers confirmed that these countries will impose restrictions on the trading of goods with illegal settlements, with France announcing its plan to halt commercial exchanges and Britain planning to impose a ban on the import of settlement products, targeting companies that support settlement expansion. In return, Israel announced retaliatory measures, including closing the British consulate in East Jerusalem and barring the entry of 12 British individuals. The Palestinian Authority and Jordan welcomed these steps, considering them vital in confronting settlement activity, while Washington ruled out joining the sanctions, emphasizing that it does not want to destabilize the region.
