Borrell: EU to propose sanctions on West Bank settlers due to violence

Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, said that the bloc will propose to its governments to impose sanctions on extremist settlers who commit acts of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank, which Israel occupies.

"We will work on proposing sanctions on extremist settlers in the West Bank," Borrell said in a press conference on Monday after a meeting of European Union foreign ministers in Brussels.
