UK, France, Canada Ban Trade With Israeli Settlements Over 'Ethnic Cleansing' · 1 source tracked

The United Kingdom, France, and Canada are implementing trade bans on goods and services originating from Israeli settlements in the West Bank. This move, described by UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband as a response to "ethnic cleansing" by "settler terrorists," aims to halt the expansion of settlements deemed illegal by the international community. The UK will also broaden its arms embargo to include weapons contributing to the occupation. Several other European nations are also taking or considering similar measures, while Israel has condemned the bans as a grave miscalculation and interference in its domestic affairs. AI
