On the 15th local time, the British government announced sanctions against three illegal Jewish settlements and four related organizations in the West Bank, adding that these organizations “support and sponsor acts of violence against the community.” The year before, there was an unprecedented increase in violence by Israeli settlers in the West Bank. The British government said it would impose strict financial restrictions on those who committed these acts. British Foreign Secretary David Lamy said that the inaction of the Israeli government has fostered an environment of impunity, and violence by Israeli settlers has increased unstoppably. The Israeli Government must combat such settler violence and stop the expansion of settlers on Palestinian land.
