UK Government Expected to Announce Restrictions on West Bank Settlements

The UK government is set to announce new restrictions on buying goods made in Jewish settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, with Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband expected to outline the proposals in the Commons on Tuesday.

Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband is expected to unveil a 'comprehensive reset' of the British government's policy on Israel, which could prompt Israel to retaliate.

The proposed restrictions would target trade in agricultural products from settlements and are likely to cover both goods and services.

Recent months have seen a rise in violence towards Palestinians in the West Bank by settlers. One minister told the BBC: 'The statement will be a complete reset of the nature of our Israel-Palestine relationship. It will all feel very different. '
