U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said in an interview with the BBC that "if Britain continues to advance sanctions against 'illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank,' there is no doubt there will be an American response." Huckabee claimed that "a response could be at the state or federal level" and estimated that such a response could "create a tremendous impact on the British economy." The British decision on the matter is expected to be made between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. local time, and at the center of the British deliberation is the possibility of choosing between economic measures against products originating from settlements, including products from East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, personal sanctions against Israelis or a combination of both.
