UK sets deadline to end Russian diesel and jet fuel imports by the new year

The UK will phase out imports of Russian diesel and jet fuel by the new year as part of intensified sanctions to pressure Moscow, with officials saying the measures will stop refined oil made from Russian crude from entering the UK via third countries. The move comes as Brent crude rises toward $87 amid Middle East tensions and a potential deal to end the conflict, while critics like Bill Browder argue the policy could finance Russia’s war machine.

UK Imposes Sanctions on Israeli Settlers for Aggression Against Palestinians

The UK has imposed sanctions on four Israeli settlers accused of violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, citing human rights abuses and illegal behavior. The Foreign Office called on Israel to take stronger action to end settler violence, as tensions have escalated since the Gaza war. The move follows US sanctions on Israeli settlers and reflects growing international impatience with the situation. Israel has expressed dissatisfaction with the sanctions, asserting that it takes action against law-breakers, but the UK continues to call for accountability and a halt to settlement expansion.
