Israeli settlers could face further sanctions in coming days in protest at the escalation of illegal settlements in the West Bank and a surge in violence by settlers against Palestinians, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said on Sunday.
Speaking to Public Senat television and RTL radio, Barrot did not name the European countries he said could impose further measures. But in a reference to the previous EU sanctions, he said: “We could go further, and in the coming days, further sanctions could be imposed.” –Agencies
