Analysis & Context
From an analytical perspective, the UK Foreign Secretary's condemnation of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank is part of her efforts to reiterate the usual British stances on the Palestinian issue. In a broader context, Israeli settlements in the West Bank are one of the main points of contention between Israel and Palestinians, as well as the international community.
