I wholeheartedly welcome the UK’s decision to ban trade in goods from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Settlement expansion, land seizures, and settler violence are fueling the forced displacement and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and undermining the possibility of a two-state solution.
International law must mean something, and accountability must apply to all.
BREAKING: Twelve countries issued a joint statement announcing national bans on trade in goods from illegal Israeli settlements:
🇫🇷 France
🇬🇧 United Kingdom
🇨🇦 Canada
🇩🇰 Denmark
🇪🇸 Spain
🇫🇮 Finland
🇮🇪 Ireland
🇮🇸 Iceland
🇳🇴 Norway
🇵🇱 Poland
🇵🇹 Portugal
🇸🇪 Sweden
Macron, UK PM Burnham, and Canadian PM Carney agreed the situation is deteriorating with "unprecedented" settler violence and settlement expansion, specifically calling the E1 project "inadmissible."
They salute measures already taken by Ireland, Spain, Netherlands, Norway, and Belgium.
The statement demands Israel immediately stop settlement expansion, hold violent settlers accountable, and investigate allegations against Israeli forces.
They "firmly oppose any action resulting in the annexation of Palestinian lands or forced displacement."
The UK has banned goods from Israeli settlements in the West Bank, saying settlers are conducting “ethnic cleansing” of Palestinians. https://t.co/Qd0DzMIal5
