UK ban on goods from Israeli settlements 'evidence of Netanyahu's failure'
France 24 [en] · middle east
British foreign minister Ed Miliband accused the Israeli government on Tuesday of turning a "blind eye" to what he called "ethnic cleansing" by settlers in the West Bank. Miliband told parliament the UK government would introduce "an import ban on goods from illegal settlements in the occupied territories", in a move coordinated with other countries. Jordana Miller, ABC correspondent in Jerusalem, told France 24 that the ban was evidence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to rein in the far-right elements of his government that has facilitated the growth of settlements.
