US Ambassador Warns of American Retaliation to UK Sanctions on West Bank Settlements
U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, stated that the United States would likely respond if the United Kingdom proceeds with planned commercial sanctions against Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Lew told BBC's Newsday program that such a move against an ally like Israel could have significant economic repercussions for British businesses.
He elaborated that the American response could manifest at both the state and federal levels. Lew warned that British companies might face prohibitions on business activities in various U.S. states as a consequence of the UK's actions.
The BBC's reporting on the settlements used the phrase "illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank."
