UK must end all trade with Israel, says co-founder of BDS movement
Omar Barghouti, co‑founder of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, told The Guardian that the United Kingdom should terminate all trade with Israel. He argued that recent UK sanctions targeting Israeli ministers and settler groups are merely symbolic and fail to address the occupation. Barghouti called the measures a ‘smoke‑and‑mirrors cop‑out’ and urged comprehensive economic disengagement.
