Türkiye, Seven Others Hail UK Ban on Imports From Illegal Israeli Settlements
The foreign ministers said the measures uphold international law and could prompt other countries to act against settlement expansion.
- On Tuesday, Foreign Secretary Miliband announced a ban on imports from Israeli settlements in the West Bank and new sanctions against companies and individuals involved in settlement expansion.
- The policy follows United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334, adopted in 2016, and the International Court of Justice's July 19, 2024, advisory opinion opposing Israel's policies in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
- Eight countries, including Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia, welcomed Britain's decision, hoping the move mobilizes other nations to take similar action against settlement activities.
- Miliband said the United Kingdom government agreed there had been "ethnic cleansing of Palestinians" in the West Bank by "Israeli settler terrorists," while suspending 30 export licenses.
- Foreign ministers from 12 countries, including Egypt, Jordan, and Indonesia, reiterated their call for Israel to "rescind all measures taken in connection with settlement activities" to support a two-state solution.
