UK imposes economic sanctions on Israeli West Bank settlements under new foreign secretary
Ed Miliband announced the UK's decision to sanction Israeli settlements and has built an international coalition in support.
UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband announced on Tuesday that Britain will impose economic sanctions on Israeli settlements in the West Bank and has secured international coalition support for the measure, according to The Guardian.
The move has been characterized as reviving an "ethical dimension" to British foreign policy, drawing comparison to Labour's "ethical foreign policy" under former Foreign Secretary Robin Cook nearly 30 years ago.
