More sanctions could be imposed on Israeli settlers in 'coming days', French FM says
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.'
