Foreign Secretary William Hague has said that European trade sanctions against Israel are not an option, Reuters has reported.
"I don't think there is enthusiasm around the European Union ... about economic sanctions in Europe on Israel. I don't believe there would be anywhere near a consensus nor is that our approach,” Mr Hague said.
“Nevertheless, if there is no reversal of the decision that has been announced, we will want to consider what further steps European countries should take.”
However, Mr Hague told parliament hat he was in talks with leaders of other European countries as to how to create incentives to bring Israel and the Palestinians back into peace talks.
