UK prepares new trade restrictions on goods from Israeli settlements in Palestine.

Britain is preparing to impose new restrictions on trade with Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories. According to British media reports, Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband will present details of the new measures in Parliament today. Under the proposed restrictions, the purchase of goods produced in Israeli settlements will be banned, while trade in agricultural products originating from the settlements will also be restricted. Meanwhile, Israel has warned that it will retaliate if Britain implements the new measures. The British government’s move is being seen as a significant shift in its policy towards Palestine.
