France hopeful EU will impose sanctions on extremist settlers

France’s foreign minister says he is hopeful the European Union would impose sanctions on Israeli settlers who commit acts of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.

Israel has come under increasing pressure from its allies to rein in settler violence, which has soared since the Hamas terror group’s October 7 massacre.

Both the United Kingdom and the United States have recently banned extremist Jewish settlers implicated in a rash of recent attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank.
