• Foreign Secretary to set out tougher UK action in response to record settlement expansion and rising settler violence in West听Bank, and听push for urgent implementation of the听20 Point听Peace Plan
• UK brings together听Australia,听Canada,听France,听New Zealand听and Norway听to deliver听co-ordinated听sanctions听against听networks financing and enabling settler attacks against Palestinians in the West听Bank, and firmly advises British听businesses against activity in illegal Israeli settlements听
• UK takes further action to support recovery in Gaza, including providing 拢1 million for humanitarian demining,听and听at least 拢10 million听supporting the PA to navigate the fiscal crisis and听sustain critical听services

In a statement to Parliament today, the Foreign Secretary will announce that the UK, alongside partners (Canada,听France听and Norway) is imposing new sanctions. The UK will impose sanctions on 6 entities and one individual involved in financing,听enabling听and carrying out settler violence in the occupied West Bank. Australia and New Zealand published co-ordinated sanctions last week.听听听

Australia, Canada, France, Norway, and the United Kingdom听have all taken the historic decision to recognise the State of Palestine, reflecting the rights of the Palestinian people and as part of our common efforts to protect the viability of the two-state solution.鈥疶oday, they are acting together again in support of the same听objectives.听

Those听designated听will face asset freezes and, where听appropriate, travel bans and Director Disqualifications. These sanctions will disrupt the flows of finance that have allowed extremist settler groups to act with impunity in the West Bank and听demonstrate听the UK鈥檚 commitment to a two-state solution.听

The UK position remains clear: settlements are illegal under international law, they undermine international efforts to secure a just, lasting peace in the Middle East, and they risk doing permanent damage to the prospects of a secure and viable Palestinian state being able to live in peace alongside a secure Israel.听听

For the first time, the Foreign Secretary has also announced that the UK鈥檚 official guidance will explicitly听advise听businesses against economic and financial activity in illegal settlements. The UK continues to support trade with Israel within 1967 lines, but states that there should be no economic involvement in illegal settlements.听听

Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper is expected to say:听

Today we are acting with our international partners to sanction those who support and sponsor violence against Palestinian communities in the West Bank.

Settler expansion and violence is illegal and a fundamental threat to the viability of a two-state solution, and to long-term peace and security for Palestinians and Israelis.

These measures show the UK is leading with our partners to target those who are fuelling this violence.

These steps come against a backdrop of continued illegal settlement expansion including the E1 project, which further undermines the viability of a two-state solution, and record levels of settler violence designed deliberately to destroy Palestinian homes and livelihoods in the West Bank.听

The UK continues to urge the Government of Israel to end settlement expansion, clamp down on settler violence, prosecute those responsible, and lift ongoing restrictions on the functioning of the Palestinian economy. The UK will not hesitate to take further action if the situation does not improve.听

Today鈥檚 measures form part of a wider UK effort to advance peace and security in Israel and Palestine. This includes action to support implementation of the听20 Point听Plan for Gaza and protect and strengthen听a viable听Palestinian state.听听

The Foreign Secretary is also expected to announce today that the UK will provide an听additional听拢1 million for humanitarian mine action in Gaza in addition to the 拢4 million already contributed. She will call on the Government of Israel to open all crossings and remove arbitrary restrictions on the delivery of humanitarian aid and equipment to ensure that UK aid can reach all those who desperately need it.

She will also announce that she will travel to Paris this week in advance of the Peace Building Conference, which is bringing together Israeli and Palestinian civil society, and international partners dedicated to advancing the two-state solution.

In addition, the Foreign Secretary will confirm at least 拢10 million in financial听and technical听assistance听to the Palestinian Authority in听2026, including听support听to听navigate the fiscal crisis and听sustain听frontline services such as healthcare.听
