Israeli ministers threaten sanctions on UK over Falklands in retaliation for settlement ban

Israeli ministers Ben Gvir and Smotrich called for sanctions against Britain and expulsion of the UK ambassador, in response to an impending UK ban on trade with illegal Israeli settlements. This marks a sharp escalation in UK-Israel tensions, linking the Falklands issue to the settlement dispute. The threat is largely rhetorical but signals a deterioration in bilateral relations.
