Britain announced a ban on imports from Israeli settlements, the Shehab Wire reported. Foreign Secretary David Lammy said the policy targets goods produced in what Britain considers illegal Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories.
The move comes as the UK responds to what officials describe as humanitarian suffering in Gaza and the West Bank. Lammy characterized the situation as "a stain on the conscience of the world," according to the statement.
