Britain, France, Sweden summon Israeli ambassadors over settlement expansion

Germany and Sweden issue condemnation over Israel's plan to build in West Bank and East Jerusalem; senior European diplomat: This time it won’t just be condemnation, there will be real action taken against Israel.
“This time it won’t just be a condemnation, there will be real action taken against Israel,” a senior European diplomat said.
Sky News confirmed that the British government was considering severe actions over the matter, quoting sources in the Foreign Office on Monday as saying: "All options are on the table," adding that there was an "appetite for action" within the bureau, and that officials may consider "revisiting" or even suspending EU trade agreements with Israel, based on human rights clauses.
