What happened

Well supportedReported by 14 independent outlets

The UK implemented an expanded sanctions regime on October 15, 2026, granting the government wider powers against illegal Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territory. This regime includes a ban on imports to the UK of goods produced in settlements. Separately, a compromise was reached between the UK and Israel to prevent the full closure of the British consulate in East Jerusalem.
