Sanction Israel altogether. They’re encouraging it and enabling it with their army.
Unfortunately, Biden will 100% try to block this. He is, in his own words, “a Zionist”.
Side note: great job further alienating progressives and people who are no longer willing to give Israel a free pass on the fact that they’re administering an apartheid state, Biden. Really hoping this isn’t the deciding point in the elections next year, but it very well could be.
This doesn’t change much. Unless they’re sanctioning the people who live in the illegal settlements. There’s always going to be some people who are willing to take one for the team, and then everyone else can move in afterwards. It’s a feature not a bug
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The European Union will draw up proposals to sanction Israeli settlers perpetrating violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank in line with a recent initiative in the United States, the bloc’s top diplomat said on Monday.
While the world’s gaze is largely trained on the humanitarian situation in Gaza, hundreds of Palestinians have also been killed in the West Bank and east Jerusalem in the past two months, according to the UN.
Data from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs shows 28 Israelis have been killed in clashes in the West Bank between January and the end of November this year, most of them Jewish settlers.
Borrell said EU officials were now working together with member states to draw up a list of individuals known for “violent activities and their attacks against the Palestinians in the West Bank.”
In a letter dated Friday and addressed to European Council President Charles Michel, the governments of Belgium, Ireland, Malta and Spain proposed imposing travel bans and asset freezes on “violent settlers who are attacking and displacing Palestinian communities.”
“The construction of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and in east Jerusalem is increasingly jeopardizing the territorial basis for a future Palestinian state,” according to a 2020 assessment by the German government.
