EU head pushing for sanctions on ‘extremist’ settlers

EU chief Ursula von der Leyen is backing sanctions on “extremist” Israeli settlers responsible for attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank.

“I am in favor of sanctioning those involved in the attacks in the West Bank. They must be held accountable. This violence has nothing to do with the fight against Hamas and must stop,” the European Commission president tells EU lawmakers.
