Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has issued a formal warning to the United Kingdom, stating that Israel will retaliate if the British government proceeds with plans to sanction goods produced in illegal West Bank settlements. The warning follows reports that Prime Minister Andy Burnham is considering an import ban on such products. Saar stated, "If Britain acts against the State of Israel, the State of Israel will act against Britain."

In a separate development, Israeli authorities have increased the implementation of the Israeli curriculum within state-run schools in East Jerusalem. This policy now affects approximately 45,000 Palestinian students, representing roughly 38 percent of the student population in the area. The mandate applies to all new first-grade and seventh-grade classes. Reports indicate that this shift is part of a broader effort to regulate education in the occupied territory. Furthermore, there are reports that Israeli authorities are restricting Palestinian teachers from the West Bank from entering Jerusalem to work in these schools, complicating the staffing of educational institutions.
