Israel is reportedly considering expelling British and possibly other European officials from the International Gaza Support Center, the multinational headquarters established to help coordinate and monitor the US-brokered Gaza ceasefire, according to the Financial Times. Israeli officials have not confirmed the move publicly, but it comes amid growing friction between Israel and European governments over settlement policy. The mooted expulsion is being considered specifically in response to UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham's plans to introduce stronger measures against illegal Israeli settlements, including an expected ban on the import of settlement goods. According to reports, Israel is also weighing expelling Italian and German officials from the same body. A Labour lawmaker told Al Jazeera that such sanctions would uphold British moral and legal obligations, reflecting broad domestic support for Burnham's proposed measures.
