WorldIsrael’s foreign minister calls Miliband’s settlement remarks ‘scandalous’

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar criticised the UK’s ban on trade with illegal Israeli settlements, calling it interference in Israel’s upcoming elections. He also described British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband’s comments on illegal settlements and settler violence as “scandalous” and false.
