Israel Asks UK to Include Judea, Samaria in Future Free Trade Agreement
(Israel Hayom) Ariel Kahana - Prime Minister Netanyahu has appealed to the British government to include Judea and Samaria, the Golan Heights, and Jerusalem in the free trade agreement between the two countries, which will come into effect with the completion of Britain's withdrawal from the EU in 2021. The draft trade deal states that the new bilateral agreement would include the same terms as the free trade agreement between Israel and the EU, but that agreement excludes Judea and Samaria and the Golan. Israel's Economy Minister Eli Cohen asked the British to "adopt the wording that applies to most of Israel's trade agreements, rather than the wording of the agreement with the EU."
