West Bank

The UK, France and Canada have banned imports from illegal Israeli settlements. Israeli leaders condemned the move as election interference, but voters remain unmoved. Analysts say the sanctions are too modest to revive the two-state solution.

The UK has banned imports from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and announced a comprehensive sanctions regime, with Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband calling it a 'comprehensive reset' of policy. The move is backed by 11 other countries and includes new arms restrictions on Israel.
