Ammon News - 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.

The European Union imposed sanctions on Israeli settlers and organisations that support them late last ​month.

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."
