Arab and Islamic states approve UK settlement ban
Eight Arab and Islamic countries—Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Indonesia, and Pakistan—welcomed the UK’s decision to ban the import of goods produced in the illegal Israeli settlements in occupied Palestine and to impose restrictions on related services. This decision aims to enhance international accountability for illegal settlement activities and encourages similar steps by other countries in accordance with international law, including imposing restrictions on trade of goods from the settlements and undermining their economic support. The ministers also called on the international community to take practical measures to halt support for settlement activities, emphasizing that this aligns with United Nations resolutions. They reaffirmed that a final solution requires implementing a two-state solution and establishing a sovereign Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. This comes after Britain announced its tightening of measures against the settlements, transforming into a ban on importing settlement goods and supporting companies and individuals involved—part of international efforts to halt settlement expansion and undermine Israeli policies in the occupied territories.
