Christian Aid and Quakers in Britain have united to urge the UK government to impose a ban on the import of Israeli settlement products.  They told a parliamentary briefing this week that such a move would promote the prospects of peace between Palestinians and Israelis. Quakers in Britain see the initiative as a nonviolent action to support efforts to build peace in the region.
