Israeli settlers continue progrom amid olive harvest in occupied West Bank
At least two people, including Washington Post journalist, injured as settlers armed with clubs and guns attack.
The UK has expanded its sanctions powers to potentially target companies, developers, and financial institutions supporting settlement expansion in the West Bank, particularly in the E1 area between Jerusalem and Maaleh Adumim. The new regulations, enacted ahead of a construction deadline, allow for asset freezes, financial restrictions, travel bans, and disqualification from serving as company directors.
The measures are intended to deter companies from participating in the E1 construction project, which is opposed by Britain due to its potential threat to territorial continuity for a future Palestinian state.
