Birmingham city council votes to boycott the Israeli occupation and withdraw investments

Israel ·

The motion, put to the council, calls for a review of financial ties with Israel and the withdrawal of investments from it. The vote drew anger in some Jewish circles, according to the report.

Israel's control of the Palestinian territories it occupied in 1967 has led to boycott and divestment campaigns in Europe, which Israel and many Jewish groups reject.
