Israeli journalist Barak Ravid reports that President Donald Trump was aware of a British initiative to impose sanctions on Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria, and did not oppose the move. No further details on the timing or status of the initiative were reported.
The report, published by Israeli journalist Barak Ravid, claims that President Trump was informed of the UK's plan to sanction Israeli settlements and chose not to object. The report does not specify when Trump learned of the initiative or whether the UK has formally presented it to the US administration. If accurate, the report would indicate that the Trump administration did not oppose the British move, a stance that could affect US-Israel relations. The Zioneer has not independently verified the report.
