What will Britain’s new sanctions on Israeli settlements actually target?

Britain 's Foreign Secretary Ed Milliband announced the country's strongest package of sanctions against Israel’s illegal settlements on Tuesday, targeting the trade, finance and services that sustain their expansion across the occupied West Bank . In a speech to parliament, Miliband said ethnic cleansing is happening in the occupied West Bank. The UK will now ban the import of goods from Israeli settlements in the illegally occupied Palestinian territory, Miliband announced in parliament. The foreign secretary added that the UK will also "take action" against companies and individuals that provide services, such as construction or finance, for settlement expansion.
