The UK has suspended trade deal talks with Israel and sanctioned West Bank settlers as it ramps up pressure on the Israeli government.
In the Commons on Tuesday, Foreign Secretary David Lammy described Israel’s actions as “monstrous” and condemned the actions of “extremist” settlers in the West Bank, saying Netanyahu’s administration has a responsibility to intervene to halt their actions.
Lammy said: “We have suspended negotiations with this Israeli government on a new free trade agreement.”
Adding that the UK is reviewing its co-operation with the Israeli administration, he said: “The Netanyahu government’s actions have made this necessary.”
