Reactions continued over the UK's sanctions targeting Israeli settlement activity in the West Bank, which accuse Israel's government of turning a blind eye to what the UK calls the 'ethnic cleansing' of Palestinians by settlers.

UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband rejected a claim by the chief rabbi that the sanctions could put British Jews at greater risk, highlighting the domestic political controversy the measure has generated in Britain.
