UK widens trade restrictions on Israeli settlements
Britain has decided to expand its trade ban on Israeli settlements to include those established on Palestinian-occupied territories, including East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights. This measure will take effect within 6 to 9 months and also covers settlements in the Syrian-occupied Golan Heights, in response to calls from pro-Palestinian groups. This move follows the announcement by 12 countries, including France, Spain, and Canada, of their ban on trading with Israeli settlements. The international community considers the settlement activity illegal under international law. It is also worth noting that Israel has occupied the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since 1967, and its escalated attacks on Gaza and the West Bank have coincided with these international decisions.
