Newspaper: The Biden administration plans to require clear labeling of goods produced in settlements in the West Bank

The Financial Times newspaper said that President Biden's administration plans to require labeling of goods produced in Israeli settlements in the West Bank, due to Washington's dissatisfaction with Tel Aviv's behavior.

The newspaper indicated that the move is considered "another sign of the White House's dissatisfaction with the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu."

The move aims to increase pressure on Israel in light of the increasing settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank. It also comes amid American frustration with Tel Aviv's behavior in the war.

The newspaper reported that the deadline for implementing the plan has not been set.

This anticipated decision reflects former President Donald Trump’s policy announced in 2020, which allows “Made in Israel” labels to be placed on products manufactured in West Bank settlements.

Several countries place labels on goods coming from settlements, noting that a European Union court ruled in 2019 that goods imported from Jewish settlements in the West Bank must carry labels indicating that they are produced in the occupied territories and not made in Israel itself.

According to the Financial Times, President Joe Biden's administration was about to announce the move last month after Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced the largest confiscation of West Bank land in decades.

Smotrich's announcement came after Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's visit to Israel, which angered Washington.

The newspaper said that the US State Department refused to comment on the move.

The Israeli war on Gaza, during which the Israeli army has killed more than 33,000 Palestinians so far, has increased tensions between the two allies, as Biden warned the Israeli Prime Minister in a phone conversation Thursday , that American support for Israel in the conflict will depend on taking immediate steps to alleviate human suffering in sector.

  2. A new study revealed that climate change and rising temperatures are causing food prices to rise by 3.2% annually.
    As climate change continues to worsen, price inflation will reduce the diversity of healthy food for people around the world, or simply become insufficient in nutrients.

    The German study shows that global warming could lead to an increase in food price inflation by between 0.9 and 3.2% annually by 2035.

    Africa will be the most affected, despite its small contribution to the causes of climate change.
