[Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Qatar @MofaQatar_EN]

Statement | Qatar Welcomes UK Trade Ban on Israeli Settlement Goods

Doha | September 8, 2026

The State of Qatar welcomes the United Kingdom's imposition of a trade ban on goods originating from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, and considers such move as an important step supporting efforts to deter the occupation's settlement policies, which constitute a flagrant violation of international law and international legitimacy resolutions, most notably UN Security Council Resolution 2334 and Article 8 of the Rome Statute, as well as a blatant assault on the rights of the Palestinian people and an undermining of efforts aimed at achieving the two-state solution.

The State of Qatar also welcomes the intention of several countries to join these efforts or discuss taking similar steps, in accordance with their national procedures, and affirms that these steps represent a practical translation of international efforts aimed at implementing the two-state solution and compelling Israel to halt its settlement policies, and also come within the context of the growing international momentum achieved through the recognition by a number of countries of the independent State of Palestine, thereby enhancing the path toward embodying the Palestinian state on the ground.

The State of Qatar expresses hope that more countries will take similar steps, and that the international community will assume its legal and moral responsibilities to compel Israel to halt its settlement policy in the occupied Palestinian territories and respect the rules of international law and international legitimacy resolutions.

The Ministry renews the State of Qatar's steadfast and supportive position toward the Palestinian cause and the rights of the brotherly Palestinian people, including their right to establish their independent state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions and the two-state solution.

Great job, thank you for your moral and political courage. Important to note that @Ed_Miliband is Jewish but taking a stance against Israel’s aggression

The UK will stand up for what is right.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

In a difficult and dangerous world, a decade on from Brexit, there is a risk that Britain loses the confidence to lead and stand up for its values.

I’m not prepared to let that happen. It is more important than ever that Britain stands for something.

We have called for years for a two-state solution in the Middle East, but we must recognise that those words are meaningless unless we back them up with action.

For too long, we have been hesitant to act, fearful of being accused of being anti-Israel.

Today we are announcing carefully judged, targeted steps that are not aimed at the Israeli people, but at the unacceptable policies of the current Israeli government.

The suffering of the Palestinian people is a scar on the conscience of the world. Innocent Palestinians, including children, continue to be killed in Gaza. And there is still a humanitarian crisis, with far too little aid getting in.

The scale of destruction is hard to comprehend. More than 70,000 people lie dead - at least 20,000 of them children. Families and communities have been torn apart. Millions displaced. And the population of Gaza is now penned into just one third of the territory.

I know that people across the UK feel very deeply about this issue - and so do I.

Before I became Prime Minister, I said our country’s response had been too slow and simply not good enough. That’s why I committed to changing the government’s approach.

I will not stand by as the horrific suffering continues to grow and the prospect of a two-state solution - the best hope for peace and stability in the region - comes under attack.

More settlements have been approved under the four years of this Israeli government than in the previous 20 years. The UN has reported more than 1,500 incidents of settler violence so far this year, aimed at driving out Palestinians. And the situation is growing worse, fast.

The Israeli government has now approved 104 new settlements since it took office in December 2022, and ahead of the October elections in Israel, it is allowing tenders for the construction of the E1 mega settlement to go ahead. This would cut a swathe through the heart of the West Bank - snuffing out the hope of realising a two-state solution. It cannot be allowed to happen.

That’s why we are announcing a new package of tough measures to put pressure on the Israeli government:

First, we will ban the trade in goods with illegal settlements in Palestine.

Second, we have formally changed the view of the British government to say for the first time that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory is unlawful - independent of, but in line with, the conclusion of the international court of justice.

And third, we will sanction individuals and companies that support, facilitate or profit from illegal settlements. That includes any businesses or investors that take part in the construction of the E1 settlement.

In addition, we are announcing a new package of desperately needed humanitarian aid to Gaza.

We are taking these steps because it is the right thing to do.

I have condemned the monstrous terrorist attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 in the strongest possible terms - and continue to condemn Hamas. However, it does not justify the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza or the West Bank.

The measures we are taking are about targeting illegal settlements and increasing the pressure on the Israeli government to change course. We are not imposing sanctions on Israel as a whole, which would punish the Israeli people, many of whom disagree with their government’s position.

The Israeli people are not responsible for the actions of their government. And nor is the Jewish community in the UK. Blaming British Jews for the actions of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is wrong, plain and simple. And it is antisemitism, plain and simple.

I met the representatives of the Jewish community just last week. I know the fear they live with day by day. My government will stop at nothing to ensure they are safe and to stamp out antisemitism in every part of our society.

The measures we are announcing today are about protecting the only solution that could see the Israeli and Palestinian people living side by side in peace and security - something that people up and down the UK desperately want to see.

The government I lead will keep working with our partners around the world to keep that hope alive.

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

It’s never been clearer: illegal Israeli settlements on Palestinian land are a significant obstacle to peace.

There can be no two-state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.

That’s why the UK Government is right to take strong action and impose a ban on trade in goods from these settlements.

With plans for more illegal settlements - and settlers currently inflicting terrible violence against Palestinians on a daily basis with impunity - it’s heartening to see the international community joining the UK in taking a stand and applying more pressure on Israel to recognise and respect the rights of Palestinians.

@ukhomeoffice Please don’t misuse this provision. It exists to protect genuine victims, and misuse could undermine the purpose of the policy and make things more difficult for those who genuinely need this protection.The normal sponsorchange rules still apply other Skilled Worker visa holders.

[Hussain Bukhari @HUSSAINSNP]

@ukhomeoffice this does NOT mean all Skilled Worker visa holders can now freely change employers.
This is a specific protection for recognised victims of modern slavery who are on Skilled Worker visas and need to leave an abusive employer.

Maybe the problem isn’t the age… maybe it’s who holds the title. 🤷‍♂️
