+++ Iran-Krieg +++: Westjordanland: Großbritannien verbietet Handel mit Waren aus israelischen Siedlungen
Britisches Handelsverbot könnte Gegenmaßnahmen auslösen +++ Russland zu Vermittlung im Nahen Osten bereit +++ Goldman Sachs hebt Ölpreisprognosen an +++ Der Newsblog.
In the ongoing Iran-Krieg, Britain has announced a ban on trade with goods originating from Israeli settlements in the West Bank. US Centcom spokesperson Tim Hawkins admitted that the US military no longer possesses a drone of the Anduril Dive-LD model, which malfunctioned during a recent operation. The drone was found to be defective, not carrying any sensitive data or secret sonar or radar equipment.
Hawkins stated that the drone was equipped with standard gear, and therefore, no concerns were raised. British sanctions against items from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank may prompt Israel to retaliate. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar warned that the move could provoke a similar response from Israel. Israeli President Isaac Herzog criticized Britain's action as a "serious misjudgment" and a decision placing Britain "on the wrong side of history."
The 2023 Knesset election looms, and Herzog denounced the move as an "unprecedented interference in the democratic elections of a sovereign nation." US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee expressed concern that the sanctions would discriminate against the Jewish people. If Britain enforces the measures, he hinted at potential consequences or reciprocal actions from the US.
