Britain, France, and Canada have announced plans to impose sanctions on goods from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank over the continuous attacks by Israeli settlers on Palestinians.
The countries announced this in a joint statement, also signed by nine other countries, issued on Tuesday. The other countries are: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden.
According to the signatories, Israel’s actions in the West Bank are undermining the possibility of a two-state solution and mark a turning point in the approach to protecting the two-state solution.
“The situation is rapidly deteriorating amid unprecedented levels of settler violence and settlement expansion,” the statement read.
