EU members considering sanctions against Israeli settlers involved in acts of terrorism
BERLIN (AA) – EU member states are discussing sanctions against violent illegal Israeli settlers who have carried out acts of terrorism against Palestinians in the West Bank, Germany’s deputy foreign minister said on Monday.
“We are currently discussing what we can do, as EU member states, on this issue. As Germany, we are also considering national measures, entry bans,” Anna Luhrmann told reporters in Brussels.
The US administration announced last week that it is imposing sanctions and visa travel restrictions against illegal Israeli settlers who have been implicated in acts of terrorism and violent attacks.
Violence by illegal Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank has soared since Israel’s war on Gaza began on October 7.
Illegal Jewish settlers professing radical Zionist ideology have committed over 300 violent acts of terrorism, killing at least nine Palestinians in the past two months, according to the health authorities. Hundreds of Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank have also been forcibly displaced from their lands.
