UK bans trade with Israeli settlements in West Bank

The United Kingdom has banned trade with Israeli settlements in the West Bank, joining Canada and France in restricting commerce with these settlements. The move is part of growing international isolation for Israel this week. However, the new sanctions contain some exceptions, including for certain weapons exports, which some observers say limits their effectiveness.
