We do not recognise the Occupied Palestinian Territories, including the settlements, as part of Israel, and indeed the settlements are not covered by the UK-Israel Trade and Partnership Agreement, which will enter into force at the end of the Transition Period. Products from Israeli settlements are not eligible to receive preferential tariff treatment.
