France and the United Kingdom announced today, along with ten other countries, that they will impose a ban on goods originating from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.[1][2]
Foreign Minister Jean‑Noël Barrot said France was preparing to introduce the ban after a recent surge of settler violence that, according to officials, has further undermined prospects for a two‑state solution with the Palestinians.[1]
The United Kingdom will join France in implementing the prohibition, together with a list of ten other nations that have agreed to the measure, signaling a coordinated effort to curb trade with occupied settlements.[2]
Broader Context
