UK resets Israel policy: Miliband vows action on settlements, aid; UN expert urges deeper shift

UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband has announced a policy reset toward Israel, pledging more decisive action on illegal settlements and restrictions on Gaza aid, including a planned ban on trade with settlement goods. UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese welcomes the move as an overdue first step but warns it must have practical impact beyond a 'press release.' The shift marks a notable departure from prior UK policy, though its implementation and scope remain uncertain.
