What will Britain’s new sanctions on Israeli settlements actually target?

Britain's Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband announced new sanctions on Tuesday targeting the trade, finance, and services sustaining Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, including a ban on imports and action against companies involved in settlement expansion. These measures, which also restrict arms exports that materially contribute to the occupation, represent the UK's strongest package against settlements and have drawn condemnation from pro-Israel groups and threats of response from the US.
