The UK and France have announced sanctions against Israeli settlers accused of violence against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank. The UK's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) stated that extremist settlers are undermining the security and stability for both Israelis and Palestinians, leading to sanctions on individuals posing a threat to West Bank stability. The French foreign ministry, as reported by AFP, followed suit, imposing sanctions on 28 Israeli settlers for human rights abuses against Palestinians. These actions reflect increasing international efforts to address the ongoing conflict and violence in the region. However, Palestinians in the West Bank express skepticism about the impact of these Western sanctions, indicating that they have brought little solace amidst continued attacks.
