Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband promised Parliament a "comprehensive reset" of Britain's approach to Israel, The Guardian reported. He said the government would work to prevent British companies from assisting construction of settlements in the West Bank, which he described as illegal. Miliband told MPs the policy shift would address what he saw as problematic British involvement in settlement expansion.
The foreign secretary framed the initiative as part of a broader recalibration of UK strategy toward Israel, though he did not elaborate on the full scope of the reset during his parliamentary statement. The move signals a potential shift in how Britain engages with Israeli settlement policy.
