Pak Sahafat – The British government announced that it will not make public the details of the trade agreement with the Zionist regime, which is supposed to increase trade between the two sides by 5 billion pounds.
According to Pak Sahafat News Agency, the spokesperson of the British Ministry of International Trade claimed that it is not appropriate to publish the details of this agreement due to its difference from other post-Brexit trade agreements.
He claimed: “The Free Trade Agreement with Israel will strengthen our trading relationship and increase UK services exports to Israel by £78 million.”
This speaker said: As the UK-Israel negotiations focus on strengthening specific sectors for which demand is growing rapidly, it is not appropriate to use the same modeling as the trade agreements with Australia and New Zealand.
The deal is said to focus on increasing the export of British services to occupied Palestine, including things like financial services and consulting on the construction of the new Tel Aviv metro.
According to the report of the National Statistics Center of this country, the volume of British trade relations with Israel was 596 million pounds in the last quarter of 2022, which shows a decrease of 155 million pounds compared to the same period last year.
