UK opposed to labeling 'settlement products'?
The British government vehemently opposes boycotts of Israel, British Ambassador to Israel Matthew Gould affirmed Monday night "clearly and unambiguously," as his embassy hosted a celebration of Queen Elizabeth II's 87th birthday. "They (boycotts) do nothing to build understanding, they put up walls when we should be tearing them down," he asserted.
While Gould acknowledged that the two countries "don’t always agree on everything," pointing to the issue of settlements, he said that "the important thing is that we disagree as friends, and we will stand alongside Israel as a friend."Does that mean that if the European Union decides to demand the labeling of 'settlement products,' Britain will be clearly and unambiguously opposed and will refuse to comply?
Hmmm.
Labels: BDS, Britain, Matthew Gould, Queen Elizabeth, settlement product boycott
