What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The UK government announced its strongest package of sanctions against illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank. This package targets the trade, finance, and services that sustain the expansion in the region. The government also approved $169m worth of military equipment for Israel over the next three months. Separately, the government suspended around 30 export licenses for UK-made arms due to a clear risk of misuse in Gaza.
