Six Western countries announce sanctions over West Bank settler violence

LONDON, June 9 — Britain, France, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Norway have agreed on coordinated sanctions over settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, the British Foreign Office said in a statement on Tuesday.

Britain will impose sanctions on six entities and one individual accused of financing, enabling or carrying out such violence. France, Canada and Norway announced new sanctions alongside Britain on Tuesday, while Australia and New Zealand unveiled coordinated measures last week, according to the statement.

The latest British sanctions target networks that are involved in providing funds, logistical support and other resources to settler farms and outposts in the West Bank.
