The United Kingdom will announce a trade ban on goods from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, a government minister said, according to British media reports.
Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband is expected to present measures against the expansion of settlements to Parliament on Tuesday, Pensions Minister Pat McFadden said.
“The reason that danger has become more urgent is because of expanded settlement activity in recent weeks and months,” he told Times Radio.
However, Netanyahu has previously said he will keep expanding illegal settlements, despite international pressure.
