EU agrees sanctions against Israeli settlers in West Bank

The European Union has agreed to impose sanctions targeting Israeli settlers accused of violence and extremism in the West Bank, the bloc's foreign policy chief announced Monday. The measure represents an escalation in EU pressure over Israeli settlement expansion and related violence. The decision comes as tensions remain high in the Palestinian territories. EU officials framed the action as a response to what they characterize as systematic violations. The sanctions target individuals involved in attacks on Palestinian civilians and property, according to Anadolu Agency.
