Franța și Canada se alătură Marii Britanii și impun sancțiuni comerciale coloniilor israeliene din Cisiordania

France and Canada will join the UK in imposing new trade sanctions against illegal Israeli settlements, marking a significant diplomatic shift. UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband announced the ban on goods and services from these settlements, following condemnation of Israel's housing plans in the E1 area. In response, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar threatened to close the British consulate in Jerusalem and warned of potential countermeasures. The UK, France, and Canada issued a joint statement expressing concern over Israeli actions in the West Bank, which they believe threaten the two-state solution. The sanctions will take six to nine months to implement, and the UK aims to act within a broader international coalition. This announcement comes ahead of the UN General Assembly and a meeting between UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham and US President Donald Trump.
