British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband told parliament on Tuesday that the UK would pursue a "comprehensive reset" of its policy toward Israel in response to what he called "appalling settler terrorism" against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, vowing to announce specific measures within weeks. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar responded with a warning that Israel would retaliate if Britain acted against it, with reports suggesting expulsion of diplomats is among the options being considered. The standoff reflects deepening international tensions over Israeli settlement expansion — more than 500,000 Israelis now live in the West Bank alongside three million Palestinians — with Miliband specifically condemning the E1 development plan, which would see over 1,200 new settler homes built in a corridor that critics say would split the West Bank and render a future Palestinian state unviable.
