The Palestinian presidential palace issued a statement on the 8th welcoming Britain's announcement of sanctions against Israeli settlements in the West Bank. The statement said that the ban on the import of settlement products and other related measures announced by the British government is “a step in the right direction” and fully complies with international law and resolutions of international legality. The move sent a clear signal to the outside world that the international community would not tolerate Israel's continued expansion of settlements, land forcible occupation and evictions of Palestinian civilians. The statement said the move reaffirmed the illegality of Israeli settlements in Palestinian territory and emphasized the need to hold those responsible for settlement crimes and settler violence to account. The Palestinian side believes that this is an important step in confronting the Israeli settlement system and its violation of the rights of the Palestinian people.
