The British government has issued an official recommendation urging business owners to mark Israeli products produced in West Bank settlements so that consumers who want to boycott such items will find it easy to identify them.
The recommendation is not binding, but this step marks an escalation in the country”s attitude toward Israel”s settlements.
The paper reports that the British consulate in Israel assures that it is opposed to any kind of boycott.
