PoliticsUK bans trade in Israeli settlement goods in what critics call an ‘overdue first step’

The UK will ban imports from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, in one of London’s strongest recent policy moves on Israel and Palestine. Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband accused Israel of “ethnic cleansing.” Canada and France said they would impose similar bans, while Israel announced entry bans for 12 British MPs and the closure of the British consulate in Jerusalem. UK parties reacted dividedly.
