The European Union has approved new sanctions against Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank for violence against Palestinians, following Hungary's decision to drop its months-long veto of the measure.
The sanctions represent a significant diplomatic breakthrough after being blocked by the previous Hungarian government. The move signals renewed consensus among member states on responding to settlement-related violence.
The penalties target individuals and entities involved in attacks on Palestinian communities. The approval comes amid broader EU efforts to shape policy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
