英国周二宣布对以色列约旦河西岸定居点实施制裁1。以色列随即做出强烈外交回应，宣称将关闭英国驻巴勒斯坦外交机构、驱逐英国军事人员，并禁止近十名英国左翼议员入境1。与盟国的明确立场形成对比，美国对英国的举措表现出谨慎姿态。国务卿卢比奥表示美国不会采取类似行动，但同时也未对英国提出严厉批评1。特朗普则表示将与以色列进行沟通，以了解其立场1。英国在宣布制裁前已预先通知了美国政府1。
美国政府的温和回应反映出特朗普政府对以色列领导层的沮丧情绪1。美国驻以色列大使哈克比曾表示可能对英国采取"制裁、报复或报复"措施1。与此同时，特朗普政府因以色列在约旦河西岸定居者的暴力活动以及总理内塔尼亚胡拒绝美国的加沙和平计划而感到恼火1。除英国外，另有11个主要为欧洲国家的国家也在准备加入针对定居点的贸易禁运1。
Britain announced sanctions against Israeli West Bank settlements on Tuesday, prompting a sharp diplomatic response from Israel, which threatened to close the UK's Palestinian diplomatic mission, expel British military personnel, and ban nearly a dozen British left-wing lawmakers from entering the country.1 The United States, by contrast, has adopted a notably restrained posture toward its ally's action.1
Secretary of State Rubio stated that "we will not do what Britain did," stopping short of issuing any strong condemnation.1 Meanwhile, US Ambassador to Israel Gidi Hackbi suggested Israel might consider "sanctions, retaliation, or counter-retaliation" against Britain.1 President Trump indicated he would speak with Israeli leadership to understand their perspective.1 Britain had notified the US government of its sanctions announcement in advance.1
The muted American response appears to reflect underlying frustration within the Trump administration over Israeli actions in the West Bank.1 The administration has grown irritated by settler violence in the West Bank and disappointed by Prime Minister Netanyahu's rejection of Trump's Gaza peace plan.1 Eleven other nations, predominantly European countries, are preparing to join a trade embargo on settlements.1
