LONDON: Britain on Tuesday announced a package of sanctions targeting what the government said were networks involved in financing, enabling and carrying out settler violence in the occupied West Bank. The sanctions, which were coordinated with Canada, France and Norway, are aimed at disrupting the flows of finance that have “allowed extremist settler groups to act with impunity” in the West Bank, a British government statement said.

France is working with several countries on coordinated sanctions targeting people linked to violence in the occupied West Bank, three European diplomats said.

The UK designated seven entities and individuals tied to West Bank settlers.
