European Union agrees to impose sanctions on Israeli West Bank settlers and Hamas leaders
EU foreign ministers unanimously approved sanctions targeting Israeli settlers involved in violence against Palestinians in the West Bank and leading Hamas figures on Monday, ending months of deadlock after Hungary lifted its veto under new Prime Minister Peter Magyar. The specific individuals and organizations to be sanctioned have not yet been publicly disclosed, though Israeli media reported the list includes settler groups and leaders. The decision stops short of broader economic measures against the Israeli government that some EU members sought.
