The United Kingdom has officially announced sanctions targeting what it terms "illegal settlements in the West Bank," a move that has prompted a strong response from Israel. Foreign Minister G Gideon Saar declared that Israel would implement retaliatory measures against the UK in response to the sanctions.
This development follows a joint statement from 12 countries announcing a nationwide ban on trade with products originating from "illegal Israeli settlements." The article also notes reactions from other international actors, including the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs responding to reports of dialogue between Prime Minister Netanyahu and the UAE ruler, and Hussein al-Sheikh, the designated successor to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, welcoming the sanctions imposed by European countries and Canada.
Further international news includes Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Asif commenting on criticism regarding the non-activation of a "Mekkah agreement" amid Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia. Additionally, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps released footage of an unmanned American submarine they claim to have captured in Hormuz, and Iranian state television reported another Iranian oil tanker being attacked by the US near the island of Jasak in southern Iran.
Separately, a technical malfunction in the UK's air traffic control provider, NATS, caused significant flight delays and cancellations across the country.
