France imposes sanctions on settlers for their involvement in violence against Palestinians

Today, Tuesday, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the imposition of sanctions on 28 extremist Israeli colonists, for their involvement in attacks and acts of violence against Palestinian citizens in the West Bank.


The ministry said in a statement that the twenty-eight people “have been issued an administrative ban on being on French soil,” stressing that it is working to “approve sanctions at the European level” against colonists who commit acts of violence.


Yesterday, Monday, the British Foreign Office announced the imposition of sanctions on four extremist colonists who “violently” attacked Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.


The British Foreign Office said that these sanctions impose financial and financial restrictions to combat the ongoing violence practiced by the colonialists and threaten the stability of the West Bank.


On the first of this month, the United States of America imposed a similar measure.


During the year 2023, the occupation forces and colonialist militias carried out 12,161 attacks against citizens and their property in the West Bank, including 9,751 attacks carried out by the occupation forces, 2,410 attacks carried out by colonialist militias, and 206 joint attacks, according to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission.
