Dispute between Israel and Great Britain

178
Great Britain punishes Israel. There is a ban for goods from Israeli settlements. These settlements are in the West-Jordan-Land. The Völker-Recht says: These settlements are illegal. 12 countries join the ban. France and Canada join too. Germany does not join. The British minister is Ed Miliband. He speaks about violence by Israeli settlers. He calls that an ethnische Säuberung.

Israel fights against the punishments. Minister Gideon Sa'ar closes the British Konsulat in Ost-Jerusalem. The Konsulat helps the Palestinians. Israel bans some British politicians from entry too. A known name is Jeremy Corbyn. Great Britain can train no Palestinian security forces anymore. The mood between the countries is very bad.

At the same time there is a court ruling in Israel. A court allows new flats in the West-Jordan-Land. It is about the project E1. Critics say: The project makes peace hard. It prevents a state for Palestinians. Ed Miliband says: Great Britain wants a Zwei-Staaten-Lösung. That means: Israel and Palestine live in peace next to each other. He also stresses: Israel has a right to exist.
