US Congressman warns UK of economic costs over expected Israel settlement sanctions

US Congressman Randy Fine has warned Britain of economic consequences ahead of an expected British announcement on sanctions against Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria. Fine, a Jewish Republican, noted that Florida law—which he previously enacted—prohibits business with any company participating in an Israel boycott. He stated this law previously forced Airbnb to end its boycott over bankruptcy concerns. Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich has called for the immediate expulsion of the British ambassador in response to the anticipated sanctions.
