Inspired by UK sanctions on Israel, US Democrats want to work with Labour

Following US President Donald Trump's electoral defeat on Tuesday night, Democrats in the United States are drawing inspiration from the UK's sanctions imposed on Israel, according to sources. The British Foreign Secretary, Ed Miliband, is being hailed by victorious Democrats as the catalyst for new US policies towards Israel.

Speaking to MEE, Democrats have revealed their intention to capitalize on their newfound control over Congress by introducing sanctions targeting settlers in the occupied West Bank. These proposed sanctions mirror the British sanctions introduced last month. Furthermore, discussions are reportedly underway on both sides of the Atlantic to revive the historical alliance between the Labour Party and the Democratic Party, particularly in the lead-up to the 2028 presidential election.

Sources indicate that informal conversations have already commenced between Democrats and the Burnham government, hinting at a potential "strong relationship between a progressive Democratic president and a progressive UK prime minister." Democrats have observed how British Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Miliband diverged from Keir Starmer's foreign policy stance towards Israel, and they have noted the popularity of this approach in Britain.
