Omar Barghouti, co-founder of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement, says Britain must go beyond halting trade with Israeli settlements and sanctioning individuals. He argues that the UK should end arms exports, trade deals and academic ties that could enable Israel’s occupation, calling narrower sanctions a “smoke and mirrors cop-out”.
