Ed Miliband announces a ban on goods produced in Jewish settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

Ed Miliband described the settlers as terrorists and accused them of carrying out ethnic cleansing against Palestinians. He noted that houses have been bulldozed, roads and public infrastructure have been destroyed, and families have been displaced from their homes. Canada and France announced similar bans on settlement goods, with France pushing for a European Union-wide ban. Ireland, Spain, Norway, Belgium, and the Netherlands have also taken steps to restrict trade in settlement goods. U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee described the move as irrational and questioned the effectiveness of the ban compared to sanctions on North Korea, China, and Russia. Israel has warned of a response. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar threatened consequences, and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called for the expulsion of the British ambassador to Israel. Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to close the British consulate in East Jerusalem.
