Britain criticizes Israeli settlers' actions in West Bank
British Foreign Secretary David Miliband announced the implementation of comprehensive sanctions on trade with Israeli settlements, in cooperation with France and Canada. The sanctions target what he described as "terrorist" Israeli practices of ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, which are indirectly supported by the Israeli government. He emphasized that the British government now officially recognizes the Israeli occupation of the West Bank as illegal, and considers the settlements to be unlawful, in pursuit of justice for the Palestinians. He also pointed out that some members of the Israeli government support the forced displacement of Palestinians. Britain intends to impose the strictest sanctions on those who finance or facilitate the construction of illegal settlements, with legislation expected to be enacted within nine months. Additionally, France and Canada announced bans on settlement goods, joining international measures against Israeli settlement activities.
