France pushes sanctions over West Bank settler violence

“France pushes sanctions over West Bank settler violence France is working with several countries on coordinated sanctions targeting people linked to violence in the occupied West Bank, three European diplomats said.

Countries may still adopt different sanctions lists, as European governments move outside the EU framework after failing to secure unanimous support for tougher action against Israel.
