In a major policy shift, Britain is expected to ban goods from Israeli settlements

The British government is poised to implement a significant policy change, announcing plans to ban goods originating from Israeli settlements, according to sources. This decision, expected to be announced by Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband on Tuesday, has ignited controversy in Israel but has garnered strong support in the United Kingdom.

The British Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, is anticipated to reveal additional measures concerning Israel during a parliamentary session in the early afternoon. According to a Labour insider, the prime minister and foreign secretary aim to outline a comprehensive overhaul of Britain's stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict. It was reported in August by Middle East Eye that the government under Burnham's leadership had decided to impose the ban on products from these settlements.

Whitehall insiders have informed Middle East Eye that these measures are considered the beginning of a transformative shift in British foreign policy, with more actions anticipated in the future.
