UK Suspends Trade Talks, Sanctions Israel Over Gaza | JQJO

The U.K. suspended free trade talks with Israel and imposed sanctions on West Bank settlers, citing Israel's policies in Gaza and the West Bank. This follows a joint statement by the U.K., France, and Canada threatening "concrete actions" if Israel didn't cease its military offensive and lift restrictions on humanitarian aid to Gaza. The EU is also reviewing its trade pact with Israel. While the U.K.'s actions were welcomed by some, others called for stronger measures. Israel criticized the sanctions as unjustified.
