Labour’s shadow foreign secretary has called for the UK to ban the import of goods from illegal settlements in the West Bank if the Israeli government presses ahead with annexation plans.
In a proposal backed by leader Sir Keir Starmer, Lisa Nandy said: "The government must be clear with the Israeli coalition government that concrete action will follow, including a ban on goods entering Britain from the illegal settlements in the West Bank.
"This is a major step, but such a blatant breach of international law must have consequences. It will take a level of courage that so far ministers have not been willing to show."
Ms Nandy, who has headed the Labour Friends of Palestine group, said Britain has a "unique moral responsibility" to take action as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggested he could “apply sovereignty” to up to 30 per cent of the occupied West Bank as early as Wednesday,
