UK and allies sanction 'networks' enabling settler violence in West Bank

The UK and its allies have imposed sanctions on networks that enable settler violence in the West Bank. These measures are aimed at addressing the rising violence in the region and will also include France barring far-right Israeli Minister Bezalel Smotrich from entry. Israel has condemned the sanctions as "disgraceful", indicating a strong opposition to the move. The sanctions are part of a broader effort to curb violence and promote stability in the West Bank.
