英国与包括法国、西班牙、加拿大在内的另外11个国家联合决定禁止与以色列在被占领约旦河西岸的定居点进行贸易1。该禁令涵盖对在定居点提供建设、基础设施或融资的公司制裁，并限制实质上促成占领的军火销售1。英国首相伯纳姆、法国总统马克龙、加拿大总理卡尼于当地时间9月8日发表联合声明，谴责以色列系统性扩张定居点，包括"E1区"定居点建设决定2。三国已正式承认巴勒斯坦国，声明指出根据国际法，这些定居点属于非法机构2。
以色列对此作出强硬回应，关闭英国驻东耶路撒冷领事馆并撤离英国代表1，使英以关系陷入数十年来的最低谷。英国外交大臣米利班德表示，该政策是对2024年国际法院关于以色列占领非法裁决的回应1。
Britain and eleven other countries, including France, Spain, and Canada, have announced a coordinated ban on trade with Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, marking a significant escalation in international pressure over the expansion of Israeli settlements.1 The measures include prohibitions on importing goods from the settlements, sanctioning companies involved in settlement construction, infrastructure provision, or financing, and restricting arms sales that substantially facilitate the occupation.1
The move has prompted a sharp response from Israel, which has closed the British consulate in East Jerusalem and withdrawn its representatives, pushing Anglo-Israeli relations to their lowest point in decades.1 British Foreign Secretary Milliband characterized the settlements as sites of "settler terrorism" and "ethnic cleansing," framing the policy shift as a reset in response to a 2024 International Court of Justice ruling on the illegality of Israeli occupation.1
Britain, France, and Canada formally declared their recognition of Palestinian statehood in their joint statement condemning Israel's systematic expansion of settlements in the West Bank, including plans for construction in the E1 area.2 According to international law, the settlements are considered illegal institutions by the three nations.2
The diplomatic rift stands in contrast to historical precedent; the Bush administration in 1991 had threatened to withhold $10 billion in loan guarantees to prevent settlement financing, while the Trump administration has not indicated intentions to restrict Israeli settlement plans.1
