The UK government has suspended free trade negotiations with Israel and imposed new sanctions targeting West Bank settlers, citing Israel's military actions in Gaza and the ongoing blockade of aid. British officials have summoned the Israeli ambassador to express strong criticism, calling the humanitarian situation in Gaza 'abominable' and condemning statements by some Israeli ministers. These moves mark a significant shift in UK-Israel relations, reflecting growing international concern over the conflict and treatment of Palestinians. The UK government described the 11-week block on aid to Gaza as 'cruel and indefensible.' The sanctions and diplomatic actions signal increased pressure on Israel to change its policies in the region.

Foreign Secretary David Lammy said the UK has suspended negotiations with the Israeli Government on a new free trade agreement, as he called the situation in Gaza “abominable” and the comments of some Israeli ministers on taking over the Strip “monstrous”.
