Six Nations Sanction Networks Over West Bank Attacks
The decision was linked to what officials described as a sharp increase in settlement expansion and rising violence in the territory.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said on X that the measures were taken jointly with partner countries as part of efforts aimed at addressing those responsible for what he described as intensified colonization and violence in the West Bank.
“With our British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, and Norwegian partners, we are today imposing new sanctions against those responsible for intensifying colonization and violence in the West Bank,” Barrot wrote on US social media platform X.
The UK Foreign Office also stated that British companies are strongly discouraged from engaging in activities linked to what it considers illegal settlements.
Separately, France announced entry bans targeting Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, along with three leaders of settler groups and 21 individuals linked to settler activity, over alleged involvement in violence in the occupied territory.
