- The Trump administration did not oppose a UK-led initiative to impose new sanctions on Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, per U.S. officials and Western diplomats.
- Eleven other Western countries have joined the UK sanctions effort targeting Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.
Why it matters: The White House's refusal to push back on a sanctions effort backed by 11 Western countries means the UK-led coalition proceeds without U.S. opposition — a notable diplomatic posture given longstanding U.S. shielding of Israeli settlement policy.
