0:00I'm Ed Donahue with the Navy News Minute. The United Kingdom is banning trade with Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, where it says settler terrorists are carrying out ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Israel responded. The accusations made today by the foreign secretary in the British Parliament were outrageous lies. That's Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Tsar. Israel responded angrily and said it would close the British consulate in Jerusalem. This is British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband. I do not believe the British people want us supporting the occupation by accepting products from settlements in our shops and supermarkets. In a joint state in British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, said settlement expansion and settler violence in the West Bank pose a direct and urgent threat to the two state solution. They said they decided to act before it's too late. The economic impact is expected to be limited. I'm Ed Donahue.
