Inspired by UK sanctions on Israel, US Democrats want to work with Labour

Democrats have told MEE that they plan to take advantage of their new hold over Congress to introduce sanctions aimed at settlers in the occupied West Bank, which would be in line with British sanctions introduced last month. There is also talk on both sides of the Atlantic of reviving the traditional alliance between Labour and Democrats as the 2028 presidential election approaches. One source told MEE that informal talks are already taking place between Democrats and the Burnham government amidst expectations of a “strong relationship between a progressive Democratic president and a progressive UK prime minister”.
