    The UK Government has decided to pause trade talks with Israel.

    In a statement on May 20, 2025, the Government said the decision to shelve talks on a free trade agreement is in response to the "UK's complete opposition to the IDF's new, extensive ground operation through Gaza."

    The Government has also announced financial restrictions and travel bans "in response to the persistent cycle of serious violence undertaken by extremist Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank".

    The Government said: "While the UK government remains committed to the existing trade agreement in force, it is not possible to advance discussions on a new, upgraded FTA with a Netanyahu government that is pursuing egregious policies in the West Bank and Gaza."
