France will sanction certain extremist Israeli settlers, Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna says, denouncing “unacceptable” violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
France “has decided to take measures… against certain extremist Israeli settlers,” Colonna says at a joint press conference with her British counterpart David Cameron after she traveled to Israel and the West Bank. “I was able to see for myself the violence committed by certain of these extremist settlers. It’s unacceptable.”
The US and UK implemented similar steps last week.
