UK, France, Canada announce ban on imports from Israeli settlements
Three Western nations say they will prohibit goods from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.
Britain, France and Canada announced Tuesday they will ban imports from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. A UK minister accused Israel of turning a blind eye to the "ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians there, according to France 24.
The coordinated move represents a significant diplomatic step by the three countries regarding the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian dispute over settlements in disputed territory.
