The UK, France, Canada and 10 other countries on Tuesday announced bans on imports from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, citing escalating settler violence and threats to a two-state solution. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham defended the move, stating that “settler terrorists” were carrying out “ethnic cleansing of Palestinians” and that the ban demonstrated British leadership.

British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband, a descendant of Jewish refugees, told Parliament that “ethnic cleansing” was being carried out by “terrorist settlers” in the West Bank, with Israeli government complicity. Israel responded by shutting the British consulate in Jerusalem and barring 12 British citizens, mostly lawmakers, from entering the country. Miliband called the retaliatory measures “deplorable” and “damaging.”

The joint action by 12 nations, including Denmark, Norway, Poland, Spain and Sweden, marked a rare coordinated Western rebuke of Israeli settlement policies. Eight Arab and Muslim-majority countries, including Turkey, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, welcomed the bans and urged further sanctions against settlement entities under international law.

Prominent Israelis, including a former prime minister, ex-army chief and the president of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities, called the sanctions an “inevitable consequence” of government failures and rejected claims that the measures were antisemitic. “Sanctions [are being imposed] against Jewish terrorists, and not against the legitimacy of the state of Israel,” they said in a joint statement. Israeli media described the measures as a “full-blown storm” that caught officials off guard, with one outlet citing an “intelligence-diplomatic failure.”

Netanyahu va da în judecată Haaretz, după dezvăluirile privind avertismentul pe care l-a primit înaintea masacrelor din 7 octombrie Ziarul israelian Haaretz a relatat marți că Emiratele Arabe Unite l-au avertizat pe premierul israelian Benjamin Netanyahu cu o săptămână și jumătate înainte de 7 octombrie 2023 că teroriștii din mișcarea Hamas pregăteau un atac de amploare. Prim-ministrul Netanyahu a anunțat miercuri intenția sa de a depune o plângere pentru calomnie împotriva cotidianului Haaretz, după publicarea anchetei jurnalistice în care se afirma că președintele Emiratelor Arabe Unite, Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyane (MBZ), l-ar fi informat cu privire la un atac pregătit de Hamas, scrie lorientlejour.com.
