Gavin Grey: UK Correspondent on Israel taking measures against the UK after it announced sanctions on West Bank settlements

Israel's taking several measures against the UK, including closing its consulate in Jerusalem and banning 11 MPs from entering the country.

The move's in retaliation to the UK saying it'll ban the imports of goods from Israeli settlements in the illegally occupied West Bank.

UK Correspondent Gavin Grey told Andrew Dickens the language used in the British Parliament was startling, with Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband calling it "ethnic cleansing".

He says it's not how ministers of the past would've framed it.

France, Canada, and Spain are among the 12 countries imposing similar sanctions.
