PRESS REVIEW – Tuesday, September 8: Papers discuss UK sanctions on Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Also, could AI change what it means to be human? Finally, "pheromone maxxing" is in; showers are out.
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham's government is set to ban trade with some Israeli settlements in the West Bank, The Times reports. The sanctions come as a response to Israeli plans to construct more than 1,000 settler homes in a key area of the West Bank. Burnham also promised to take a tougher stance in support of Gaza and against the destruction of the two-state solution there.
