UK’s Johnson tours West Bank settlements with Peace Now

British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson receives a briefing from anti-settlement NGO Peace Now on Israeli building in the West Bank.

Israeli settler leaders had also called for Johnson to meet with them, but a British embassy official tells AFP the brief visit allowed no time to do so.

During an earlier meeting with Palestinian leaders in Ramallah, Johnson described the uptick in Israeli settlement building in the West Bank as an “obstacle” to peace.
