US Ambassador Warns UK Against Sanctions on Israeli Settlements
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Harkaby stated in a BBC interview that if the United Kingdom proceeds with sanctions against "illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank," there will "undoubtedly be an American response." Harkaby suggested this response could occur at the "diplomatic or federal level" and could "have a huge impact on the British economy."
The British decision, expected between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM local time, hinges on whether to target economic measures against products originating from settlements, including those from East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, or to impose personal sanctions against Israelis, or a combination of both.
