The Trump administration did not oppose a UK-led initiative to impose new sanctions on Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.
Axar.az reports, citing Axios, that British Prime Minister Andy Burnham briefed US President Donald Trump ahead of the sanctions announcement.
Two sources with knowledge of the call said Trump didn't push back or ask Burnham to change course.
U.S. officials told their British counterparts they shared their concerns about the Netanyahu government's West Bank policy, even if they disagreed with these specific sanctions, sources say.
