UK Sanctions on Israeli Settlements Spark Retaliation and International Condemnation
Twelve countries have jointly announced a nationwide ban on trade with products originating from "illegal Israeli settlements." This move, which includes the United Kingdom, has prompted a strong response from Israel. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar announced retaliatory measures against Britain.
US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Harkavy, criticized the British sanctions, calling them hypocritical. He highlighted that the UK itself has occupied territories and engaged in settlement activities in Northern Ireland. The Palestinian Authority's deputy chairman, Hussein al-Sheikh, welcomed the sanctions imposed by European countries and Canada.
Meanwhile, the UAE's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has commented on reports in Israel regarding discussions between Prime Minister Netanyahu and the UAE's ruler. The article also briefly mentions Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps claiming to have captured an unmanned US submarine in the Strait of Hormuz, and a technical malfunction in the UK's air traffic control system causing flight disruptions.
