Beyond the Green Line: UK Sanctions on Israeli Settlements and the New Strategic Fault Line

Sanctions announced recently by the UK on Israeli settlements in the West Bank have been framed by the UK government as mainly an economic move, including prohibition of goods from settlements, restriction of organisations engaged in assisting settlement-related activities, and sanctions on people and organisations linked with the expansion of settlements. However, a critical question should be asked; can London offer an alternative beyond sanctions that produces change in Israeli government behaviour on the issue of Palestinian sovereignty, or will it merely impose costs without a clear path forward?
