UK, France and ten other countries to sanction trade from Israeli settlements

Twelve countries including Britain, Canada and France Tuesday said they would slap sanctions on trade with Israeli settlements in the West Bank, after increasing attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinian villages in the occupied territory.

British Foreign Minister Ed ​Miliband said Britain ‌could no longer simply "call out" injustice and suffering, but told the House of Commons that the country now had ⁠to "act" to oppose the expansion of settlements.
