Canada eyes sanctions on West Bank 'extremist' settlers

Canada is considering implementing sanctions against "extremist" settlers in the West Bank, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Friday.

This statement comes a day after the United States’ move against four Israeli men, who are alleged to have participated in acts of violence in the occupied region.

"We are looking into how to make sure that those responsible for extremist violence or extreme settler violence in the West Bank are held to account for it," Trudeau told reporters in Waterloo, Ontario.
