The UK announced a ban on imports of goods produced in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, alongside measures targeting individuals and companies profiting from settlement activity. However, accurately distinguishing settlement goods from other trade with Israel, which totalled £6bn ($8.1bn) in 2025, remains a significant challenge for UK officials.
