Oxfordshire MP Layla Moran has urged the Government to “go further” following the suspension of some arms exports licences to Israel, by ending trade with illegal settlements in the West Bank.

The Liberal Democrat MP for Oxford West and Abingdon was speaking in parliament on Monday where she said the UK Government should ban the importing of goods made in the illegal Israeli settlements.

She told MPs: “I urge the Government to go further. Will they not ban goods produced in the legal Israeli settlements? If the settlements are illegal, why are we allowing trade with them?

“And will they sanction Ben-Gvir and Smotrich, as the EU’s Josep Borrell is considering, or can (Foreign Secretary David Lammy) at least say that when it comes to violent extremists, nothing and no one is off the table?”

Mr Lammy replied: “We condemn the settler expansion, the record levels that we’ve seen this year, particularly, and of course, the increase in settler violence.

“And I condemn the language that’s been used by ministers in the Israeli government, Smotrich, Ben-Gvir, particularly in relation to this. It’s entirely unacceptable language and should be condemned by the Israeli government as a whole.

“(Ms Moran) raises important issues, and she recognises that, of course, in terms of labelling, we do label in relation to goods from settlements alongside the 1967 borders particularly, but the issues are very, very complex.”
