The British government announced today that it is preparing measures in response to attacks by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank. The United Kingdom made this decision in light of the growing violence in the region.
Israel has already warned that it will retaliate against any sanctions imposed by the United Kingdom. Tensions between the two countries have increased with the announcement of the British measures.
The West Bank has remained occupied by Israel since 1967, and the settlements in the region are considered illegal under international law, although Israel disagrees with this classification.
