Jordan welcomes UK settlement ban

The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed the United Kingdom's decision to impose a trade ban on Israeli settlement products in the occupied West Bank, as well as efforts aimed at funding and expanding the settlements. It affirmed that this decision aligns with international law and United Nations resolutions, and helps counter Israeli settlement expansion that threatens peace efforts and the two-state solution in the region. It called for increased international efforts to halt settlement expansion and ensure the establishment of an independent Palestinian state to achieve peace and stability.
