"France, UK, and US Impose Sanctions on Israeli West Bank Settlers for Violence and Human Rights Abuses"

France will ban 28 Israeli settlers from entering the country due to accusations of attacking Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, citing increased violence by settlers against the Palestinian population. The United States and Britain have also imposed sanctions on several settlers, and the European Union's foreign policy chief has proposed similar measures. The French foreign ministry emphasized that colonization is illegal under international law and must stop for the creation of a viable Palestinian state.
