> The UK government has launched a scathing attack on Israel’s conduct in the West Bank and Gaza. Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband said “terrorists” were carrying out ethnic cleansing in the West Bank with the backing of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. He announced sanctions on trade with settlements and said UK policy now formally regards Israel’s occupation of the West Bank as unlawful.
