UK, France, Canada to sanction Israeli West Bank settlements; we won't - US

The UK, France, and Canada announced they will ban imports from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, accusing Israel of turning a blind eye to the 'ethnic cleansing' of Palestinians. In retaliation, Israel ordered the closure of the British consulate in Jerusalem and banned 12 Britons, including lawmakers, from entering the country. The leaders of the three countries warned that the settlements pose a direct threat to a two-state solution to the conflict.
