Israel Prepares Sharp Response to Expected British Sanctions
(Israel Hayom) Danny Zaken - Britain's government intends to announce a series of measures against Israel and Jerusalem has already prepared a response, Israel Hayom has learned. Israeli officials are convinced the move is driven not by foreign-policy considerations but by Prime Minister Andy Burnham's domestic political needs ahead of the Labour Party conference on Sept. 27. The expected measures are likely to include a declaration of intent to boycott goods produced in Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria; personal sanctions against individuals whose names have been linked to violent acts; and, apparently, a policy statement regarding the legality of Israeli control in Judea and Samaria and Gaza. At this stage, most or all of the measures are expected to amount to declarations of intent. Based on previous Israeli responses, Jerusalem is expected to distance Britain from involvement in international arrangements concerning Gaza and other diplomatic fronts.
