[UK Plans New Sanctions on Israeli Settlements, May Anger Trump] Golden Finance reported on September 8 that sources revealed UK Foreign Secretary Miliband will announce a new sanctions mechanism targeting Jewish settlements in the West Bank on Tuesday. The measures primarily focus on settlements in the Jordan River's West Bank and do not comprehensively affect UK-Israel trade and security relations. Sources also disclosed that British diplomats have privately informed the U.S. that the sanctions are more symbolic measures aimed at mitigating potential reactions from the Trump administration. The Burnham government hopes to demonstrate a tougher stance on Israel compared to former Prime Minister Starmer, both within the party and among voters, but this move may impact its relationship with U.S. President Trump.
