I believe in a two-state solution in the Middle East. That’s why we’re taking action to keep that hope alive
Our sanctions aren’t about the Israeli people, but about the unacceptable policies of the Israeli government, and the suffering they cause Palestinians
TL;DR
- Britain announces new sanctions targeting illegal Israeli settlements in Palestine.
- Trade in goods with illegal settlements will be banned.
- Individuals and companies profiting from or facilitating illegal settlements will be sanctioned.
- The British government now considers the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory unlawful.
- New humanitarian aid for Gaza is being provided.
- The actions are not aimed at the Israeli people but at the policies of the current Israeli government.
- The goal is to support a two-state solution for peace and stability in the region.
