  "summary": "The U.K. government has announced plans to join 11 other nations in sanctioning trade with Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, in an effort to safeguard the possibility of an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel. The move drew a warning of repercussions from U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, who cautioned that the U.K. could face a backlash from the U.S. if it follows through with the plan. Israel's own president called the plan \"gross interference.\" The U.K. Foreign Minister Ed Miliband said the sanctions would target specific companies and individuals involved in settlement expansion, as well as individuals accused of violence against Palestinians.",
