Inside Israel’s settlement economy as Palestinians call for UK trade ban

Israeli settlements have expanded dramatically across the occupied West Bank, taking in land and controlling resources Palestinians have depended on for generations.

In the Jordan Valley, Palestinian farmers tell Sky News they are increasingly being cut off from their land and water, while nearby Israeli settlements operate thriving agricultural businesses whose produce can reach European markets.

The UK considers Israeli settlements illegal under international law and advises British businesses against economic activity connected to them. Still, it has not banned imports from settlements.
