  "summary": "Eleven European countries and Canada have imposed sanctions on Israel over products from settlements in the West Bank. According to Le Monde English, the countries are France, Denmark, Spain, Finland, Ireland, Iceland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, and Canada. They have chosen to impose sanctions on all settlements.\n\nThe UK, France, and Canada have banned imports from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. The UK's Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband stated that there is \"ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in areas of the West Bank — perpetrated by settler terrorists\" and that the Israeli government has \"turned a blind eye to this and worse\".\n\nThe ban will affect a small subset of industries but could be ruinous for those companies if the trade prohibitions go into effect. Israel has announced counter-measures targeting Britain in response to the sanctions.",
