Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Jolie announced that Canada will impose sanctions on Israeli settlers who incite violence in the West Bank.
The United States took a similar measure, imposing sanctions on Thursday on 4 Israelis accused of involvement in violence in the occupied territories.
In an interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation yesterday, Jolie said that “some settlers will be subject to sanctions.”
While speaking from Ukraine, she added: “We are working hard on this, and while I am in Ukraine I am making sure that the work is being carried out in Ottawa, and I look forward to making an announcement soon.”
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Friday that he was considering imposing sanctions on extremist settlers in the West Bank.
