The UK government is expected to announce a trade ban and additional sanctions on Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria on Tuesday, according to multiple reports. Prime Minister Andy Burnham informed U.S. President Donald Trump of the planned move during a phone call earlier Monday, and the White House is expected to publicly condemn the decision. Labour MP Ed Miliband is set to deliver the parliamentary statement. The move follows a series of UK measures against Israeli settlement activity over the past months, as The Zioneer has reported. Israeli ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich have called for sanctions on the UK and the expulsion of the British ambassador, respectively, as The Zioneer reported earlier Monday night.
