Labour Friends of Israel defends major West Bank settlement blocs

Labour Friends of Israel (LFI) published a report defending Israeli settlement blocs in the West Bank and opposing a British government ban on goods from these settlements. The report argues against legal measures targeting settlement products, despite international law deeming all settlements in the West Bank illegal. The International Court of Justice ruled in 2024 that Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory is unlawful.
