Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar has announced counter sanctions following Ed Miliband’s decision to ban imports from illegal settlements in the West Bank.
The Foreign Secretary Ed Milliban has announced a “reset” of the UK’s relations with Israel in a Commons statement today.
Ministers have suggested goods coming out of the illegal settlements in the West Bank, a Palestinian territory, could be subject to trade restrictions as part of the changes.
The Prime Minister discussed the Middle East with US President Donald Trump in a phone call on Monday ahead of the intervention, which risks drawing criticism from Washington, Israel’s closest ally.
