Israel retaliates for British sanctions on occupied West Bank imports

from The World Tonight · host BBC Radio 4

Israel has accused Britain of "consistently operating" against Israel, after Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband introduced sanctions on illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank. The UK government says the measures are vital to keep the two-state solution alive in the Middle East. We'll have reaction from the Palestinian ambassador to the UK, and an Israeli politician running for election. Also on the programme: hundreds of flights are cancelled at UK airports because of a problem with air traffic control. We hear how airports are sorting through the backlog.
