PoliticsWhat are the holes in the UK’s ban on imports from Israeli settlements?

The UK has announced a ban on goods produced in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, alongside measures targeting companies and individuals that support or profit from settlement activity. Yet official trade data cannot separate Palestinian-made goods from settler-produced goods, and services such as finance, logistics, legal work and tourism are not automatically covered. UK-Palestine trade was recorded at £40m in the year to March 2026, while the government did not provide a specific figure for settlement imports.
