EU urges Israel to end 'unacceptable actions' in occupied West Bank

The EU’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, has called on Israel to immediately stop the “unacceptable actions” of its settlers. 

“Day after day, in an almost total impunity, Israeli settlers fuel violence in the occupied West Bank, contributing to endanger any chance of peace,” Borrell wrote on X.

“I confirm my intention to table a proposal for EU sanctions against violent settlers’ enablers, including some Israeli government’s members,” he added.

Borrell’s statements come after 23-year-old Mahmoud Abdel Qader Sadda was shot and another Palestinian was injured during a settler attack on the village of Jit in the occupied West Bank.
