  "account": "The United Kingdom has declared Israeli settlers to be terrorists for their actions of ethnic cleansing against Palestinians, according to Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband's statement. Miliband emphasized that these actions have received support from certain government sectors in Israel. In what could be the UK government's most stringent condemnation yet, Miliband announced a series of sanctions that target trade and services connected to Israeli settlements. These measures encompass a ban on imports from unlawful Israeli settlements within the occupied territories, sanctions on services like construction and financing tied to settlements, a prohibition on UK advertisements for properties in these illegal settlements, personal sanctions for individuals supporting settler violence, and restrictions on arms licenses and exports that significantly contribute to the occupation. Miliband declared that the UK now views the Israeli occupation of the West Bank as completely unlawful. He informed Parliament that Palestinians in certain parts of the West Bank are experiencing ethnic cleansing perpetrated by what he described as \"settler terrorists.\" Miliband also accused the Israeli government of failing to halt this violence and stated that some Israeli officials have supported the forced displacement of Palestinians. The UK plans to introduce legislation concerning the trade ban and sanctions within a nine-month timeframe. Israel strongly objected to the British stance, with its foreign minister Gideon Saar calling Miliband's claims \"outrageous lies\" and accusing Britain of acting against Israel. Saar also announced retaliatory measures, including plans to close the UK consulate in Jerusalem and to exclude Britain from the US-led Gaza coordination mission. The UK joins 12 other nations in imposing sanctions on trade with Israeli settlements, which include Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden.",
