Palestine welcomes EU sanctions against Israeli “extremist” occupiers for violence in the West Bank


Wednesday, May 13th 2026

Palestine welcomed a European Union decision to sanction “extremist” Israeli occupation organizations and individuals involved in illegal settlement activities and violence against Palestinians, reports Anadolu.

“This is an important step towards accountability and respect for international law,” Foreign Minister Varsen Aghabekian Shahin wrote on US social media company X.

She called for “concrete measures” to address Israeli settlement activity and attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank.

On Monday, EU foreign ministers agreed to a new round of sanctions targeting Israeli occupiers and organizations accused of supporting illegal settlement activity in the occupied West Bank.

The occupied West Bank has faced escalating violence since Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip began in October 2023, including killings, arrests, house destruction and settlement expansion, according to Palestinian officials.

At least 1,155 Palestinians have since been killed, about 11,750 injured and nearly 22,000 others arrested in the occupied West Bank, according to official Palestinian figures.
