'Far from over,' UK Jewish leaders say of plans to ban trade with Judea and Samaria

UK Jewish leaders state that proposed legislation to ban trade with Judea and Samaria is "far from over," despite a joint announcement by Britain, Canada, and France on Tuesday. Steve Winston, managing director of the National Jewish Assembly, told JNS that this declaration "is not the end of this issue" but rather "the beginning of the next phase." He emphasized that any potential legislation will undergo parliamentary and legal scrutiny, and the NJA plans to challenge the policy, its double standards, and the attempt to undermine Jewish rights in the region. Yigal Dilmoni, CEO of American Friends of Judea and Samaria, added that "such measures do not advance peace" and instead reward terrorism.
