Sanctions Unveiled
Britain, France and Canada announced on Tuesday that they would prohibit imports stemming from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, a move motivated by concerns over the alleged ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in the territory. A UK minister said Israel is turning a blind eye to the situation.[1]
