Palestine calls for sanctions on Israel to dismantle illegal settler groups
RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) – Palestine has called for imposing sanctions on Israel to compel Tel Aviv to dismantle illegal settler groups in the occupied West Bank.
“An international action is urgently needed to pressure the Israeli government to dismantle the settler groups, disarm them, dry up their source of funding, and end their political cover,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
It also called for “placing all terrorist settler organizations and associations on international terror lists.”
“It’s not sufficient to only ban some settlers from entering the US or European countries but to list these settler groups on international terror list,” the ministry said.
Palestinians have complained of rising acts of violence by illegal Israeli settlers amid growing tensions across the occupied West Bank in the wake of the war on Gaza.
At least 355 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 4,000 others injured in Israeli military raids and settler attacks in the West Bank since the outbreak of Israel’s brutal war on the Gaza Strip on October 7, according to figures released by the Health Ministry.
According to Palestinian figures, illegal Israeli settlers carried out around 2,410 attacks against Palestinians and their properties in the West Bank in 2023.
