Rubio on U.K. Imposing Sanctions on Israeli Settlements in the West Bank: ‘We Share the Goal of Stability’

‘We don’t want to see some uptick in violence’

EXCERPT:

RUBIO: “Well, I would say that the president has not commented on this. As I said, neither have I at this point. We were made aware that they were going to make this decision. We heard their arguments as to why. But look, we share the goal of stability. We don’t want to see some uptick in violence or an uptick in conflict or tensions in the West Bank at a very tenuous time in the region. It’s always tenuous times, but beyond that, I don’t think, as of this moment, we don’t have any further comment on the U.K. decision that I think was announced just a few hours ago.”
