European Union foreign ministers on May 12 agreed new sanctions targeting Israeli settlers over violence against Palestinians in the West Bank, according to France 24. The decision followed Hungary's withdrawal of its opposition, ending a months-long diplomatic blockade.

The sanctions represent a shift in EU consensus on Israeli settlement policy. The bloc also moved forward on additional measures, though details remain limited. The vote marks one of the strongest EU positions on Israeli-Palestinian tensions in recent months.
