ARAB AND MUSLIM NATIONS BACK UK SETTLEMENT TRADE BAN

SAUDI ARABIA AND OTHER ARAB AND MUSLIM COUNTRIES HAVE WELCOMED THE UNITED KINGDOM’S DECISION TO BAN TRADE IN GOODS FROM ISRAELI SETTLEMENTS IN THE OCCUPIED WEST BANK. THE UK SAYS THE POLICY IS INTENDED TO RESPOND TO SETTLEMENT EXPANSION AND SUPPORT THE PROSPECT OF A TWO-STATE SOLUTION.

THE MOVE HAS DRAWN INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION AS BRITAIN, FRANCE, CANADA AND OTHER COUNTRIES INCREASE PRESSURE OVER SETTLEMENT ACTIVITY. THE UK HAS FRAMED THE POLICY AS A STEP TOWARD PROTECTING THE POSSIBILITY OF A FUTURE PALESTINIAN STATE.
