The United States did not join the sanctions imposed by the United Kingdom on Israeli settlements in the West Bank. The decision was announced by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Rubio called for stability in the West Bank during his announcement, without specifying details about the reasons for not joining the British sanctions.
In the United Kingdom, Parliament debated a motion of no confidence in the government during the same period as the US decision was announced, suggesting a possible connection between the two political events.
