00:05Israel is advancing a settlement project in the West Bank, the E-1, an important area between East Jerusalem and
00:11Ma'alei Adumim.
00:12Israel plans 1,234 new homes there, widely considered illegal under international law.
00:18The UK condemned the move, warning it could make a two-state solution harder to achieve.
00:23The UK announced measures targeting Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, including an import ban and sanctions on companies
00:30financing settlement expansion.
00:32Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar warned that if Britain acted against Israel, Israel would act against Britain.
00:38After the sanctions, Israel gave Britain 30 days to close its East Jerusalem consulate and banned 12 British MPs and
00:46officials from entering Israel.
00:47Israel has also signaled other countries could face similar measures.
00:51Over 22 countries have condemned Israel's E-1 settlement, including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and others.
