US CRITICISES UK OVER ISRAEL SANCTIONS

The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has criticised the UK government for sanctioning two Israeli cabinet ministers.

The Foreign Office says measures were imposed jointly with Australia, Norway, Canada and New Zealand because of the ministers' 'repeated incitements of violence against Palestinian civilians'.

Former UK Middle East minister Alistair Burt says the UK has the balance right.
