President Isaac Herzog addressed the sanctions Britain is expected to impose on Israel, saying, "This would be blatant interference in the democratic elections of a sovereign state, and it will serve no one. It will also directly harm the Palestinians by depriving them of businesses and employment opportunities. And ultimately, it will harm the interests and national security of freedom-loving nations." At the center of the British deliberation is the possibility of choosing between economic measures against products originating from settlements, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, versus personal sanctions against Israelis, or a combination of both.
