The British Foreign Office has listed the Israeli regime's human rights record as one "of particular concern" in its quarterly report on human rights.
Despite being one of Israel's staunch allies, Britain's change in stance on the Israeli regime suggests that Israel is set to lose its international allies.
The listing, which puts Israeli amongst the likes of human rights violators, such as Bahrain, Zimbabwe and Iran, comes after the British government warned that Israel's settlement plans will alienate its international allies.
The British Foreign Office report, reiterated an earlier warning by British Foreign Secretary, William Hague, that described the building of settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem as a move that "constitutes a serious provocation and an obstacle to peace".
