Palestinians and US journalist injured by Israeli settlers in West Bank harvest attack
The BBC sees masked settlers attack Palestinians trying to harvest olives, amid a surge in similar incidents.
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.
