London condemns Israeli response to settlement sanctions

Israel announced the closure of the British consulate in Jerusalem and the banning of travel for 12 British officials as part of its response to the United Kingdom, Trudeau, and Paris imposing sanctions targeting trade with West Bank settlements. British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband described the Israeli move as "regrettable and harmful," while security cooperation between the two countries is expected to continue. The escalation comes amid strained relations between Israel and several European countries due to increasing violence in the settlements and international pressure to halt settlement expansion in the territories occupied since 1967. European nations are focusing on imposing restrictions on trade with settler products, especially agricultural ones, in an effort to pressure Israel to cease settlement activities.
