United Kingdom suspends commercial negotiations with Israel and they accuse them of "Antiisraeli obsession"

The United Kingdom Government has decided act for an “antiisraeli obsession” and “internal political considerations.”

The suspension was confirmed on Tuesday by the British Executive, who said that “it is not possible He is promoting particularly bad policies in the West Bank and Gaza”Although the United Kingdom will continue to comply with the commercial agreement already in force, the decision marks a clear diplomatic distancing in the context of the Israeli military offensive in the Gaza Strip.

From Jerusalem, the spokesman of the Israeli Foreign Ministry, Oren Marmorstein, responded hard: “If due to the antiisraeli obsession and internal political considerations the internal considerations British government is willing to harm the British economy, it is its own prerogative“In addition, he denounced that commercial negotiations were not being promoted by London” at all “before the ad.

The tension is aggravated after the recent imposition of sanctions by the United Kingdom against several Israeli settlers involved in illegal settlements in occupied Bank. The measures met while Israel was mourning for the murder of Tzeela Gez, a pregnant colona who died in an armed attack allegedly perpetrated by a Palestinian.

Among the sanctioned are individuals and entities such as the Zohar Sabah settler, the Nachala organization, the construction company Libi Construction and Infrastructure, its administrator Harel Libi, and the activists colonas of the position of advanced coconut farm, according to The Times of Israel.

France and Canada also raise measures

The United Kingdom’s decision comes at a time of growing international pressure on Israel. Together with France and Canada, London warned this week that it will take “concrete measures” if the Netanyahu government does not stop its military actions in Gaza and allows the entry of humanitarian aid.

The Israeli offensive, baptized as ‘Gideon cars’, has intensified bombings on Gaza, where according to UN data, more than a hundred people die every day from the weekend. The enclave has not received significant humanitarian aid weeks. On Monday, after more than two months of blocking, the first five trucks with supplies entered, a figure far from the 500 per day that were considered insufficient before the war.
