Israel Warns UK of Retaliation Over Potential Sanctions
Israeli Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi has issued a stern warning to the United Kingdom, stating that Israel possesses the means to retaliate if Britain imposes sanctions.
Ashkenazi's remarks came in response to a question about the possibility of the UK government enacting sanctions against Israel. This potential action is reportedly linked to Israel's advancement of construction plans in the E1 area, located beyond the Green Line.
The context for these potential sanctions is the British Foreign Secretary's recent clarification that London will introduce a "comprehensive" package of measures against Israeli settlements in the coming weeks.
Ashkenazi's full statement was made during an interview on "121," ynet's political podcast, with the complete episode scheduled for release on Thursday.
