British trade unions passed a motion supporting boycott and sanctions measures against Israel, Al Jazeera English reported. The resolution calls for action to oppose what unions describe as the "catastrophic destruction of Gaza" and Israeli settler violence in the occupied West Bank.
The motion represents growing pressure from organized labor in Britain to take a stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, particularly following the escalation of violence in Gaza.
