Secretary of State Marco Rubio offered a tepid response on Tuesday to the United Kingdom’s new sanctions regime against Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

“Obviously, we’re not going to do what the U.K. did,” Rubio told reporters during a trip to Colombia when asked about U.K. Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband’s announcement, but said he didn’t have anything to add further. 

“Obviously, these are decisions that they make,” he said. “And we — and the president has expressed this in the past — don’t want to see anything destabilizing going on right now in the West Bank with so much going on in the region. We think it has implications as well on our ability to make progress with regards to Gaza and the 20-point plan and Board of Peace that we’re very committed to.”

Rubio’s remarks followed an announcement earlier Tuesday by U.K. Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband, who unveiled a sweeping new sanctions regime targeting West Bank settlements. The British policy includes an import ban on goods produced in settlements alongside targeted sanctions against individuals and businesses involved in constructing, advertising or financing settlement expansion.

Prior to the formal announcement in London, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee warned that Britain could face retaliatory “repercussions” from Washington over the policy shift.

Asked about Huckabee’s comment, Rubio noted that neither he nor President Donald Trump had issued an official response yet, but acknowledged that the administration was “made aware that [the U.K. was] going to make this decision.”

“We heard their arguments as to why,” Rubio said. “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. But beyond that, as of this moment, we don’t have any further comment.”
