UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband pledged a 'comprehensive reset' of British policy toward Israel, with London reportedly preparing sanctions targeting West Bank settlements and the E1 settlement project. Israeli officials, including Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, warned that Jerusalem 'will act' and that Britain will regret imposing such measures. The dispute marks an escalation in tensions between Israel and one of its traditional Western allies over settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank. Sa'ar said Israel would retaliate if the sanctions are formalized, while UK officials reiterated that comprehensive measures were forthcoming.
