英国政府对以色列非法定居点实施经济制裁，引发以色列政府强烈回应。1以色列向英国下达最后通牒，要求其在30天内关闭领事馆。1英国外交大臣米利班德宣布的这一制裁措施规模和力度超出预期，涵盖贸易禁令等多重形式，可能迫使以色列主要银行和保险公司在英国业务与定居点项目之间做出选择。2
英国的立场得到国际社会部分支持。法国、加拿大及10个欧洲国家随后宣布支持类似措施，2而包括阿联酋在内的8个穆斯林国家也呼吁各国效仿英国的制裁措施。1这些行动标志着欧洲与美国在以巴问题上的政策分歧。1
在以色列国内，对制裁的态度存在分化。以色列科学院院长戴维·哈雷尔、前总理埃胡德·奥尔默特和前军方首脑丹·哈卢茨等签署联合声明表示支持，认为"制裁针对犹太恐怖分子，而非以色列国家的合法性"。214个以色列人权组织也欢迎制裁，称其为"重要且必要的第一步"。2然而，以色列外交部长吉迪恩·萨阿尔抨击米利班德进行"公然干涉"。2根据民调数据，近四分之三的以色列犹太人支持部分或完全吞并西岸。2
从占领区出口到英国的商品价值为4.5亿美元。2
Britain has implemented economic sanctions against Israeli settlements, facing a 30-day ultimatum from Israel to close its consulate 1. Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband announced the new measures on Tuesday, imposing trade restrictions on goods from occupied territories 2. The sanctions represent a significant economic lever deployed by an allied nation in years, potentially forcing major Israeli banks and insurance companies to choose between their UK operations and involvement in settlement projects 2.
The move has garnered international support, with eight Muslim-majority nations including the United Arab Emirates calling on other countries to adopt similar measures 1. France, Canada, and ten European countries have subsequently announced support for comparable trade bans 2. Goods exported from the occupied territories to the UK were valued at 450 million dollars, representing part of the 4.4 billion dollar total UK-Israel trade volume 2. The sanctions mark a policy divergence between Europe and the United States on Israeli affairs 1.
The sanctions have generated mixed responses within Israel. Prominent Israeli figures including Israeli Academy of Sciences President David Harel, former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, and former military chief Dan Halutz signed a joint statement welcoming the measures, characterizing sanctions as targeting "Jewish terrorists" rather than the legitimacy of the Israeli state 2. Fourteen Israeli human rights organizations endorsed the sanctions as an "important and necessary first step" 2. However, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar condemned Miliband's actions as "blatant interference" 2.
