Rubio Says US Will Not Join UK in Restricting Trade With Israeli Settlements
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington will not follow London's move to sanction goods from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the United States will not join the United Kingdom in banning trade with illegal Israeli settlements, according to a video report from Al Jazeera.
Rubio stated that the US will "obviously not" follow the UK's decision to sanction goods produced in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, the report said.
The comments come after the UK announced measures targeting trade tied to settlements that are widely considered illegal under international law.
Al Jazeera's report did not provide further details on the scope of the UK measures or additional context from Rubio's remarks.
This is a developing story and further details may emerge as more information becomes available.
