The EU has agreed sanctions on violent Israeli settlers, ending a years-long deadlock over the issue but still taking only a “baby step” according to one MEP.

Kaja Kallas, the EU’s foreign policy chief, said on Monday: “Violence and extremism carry consequences.”

But there was still no consensus among the 27 member states on more hard-hitting trade sanctions.

France’s foreign minister, Jean-Noël Barrot, said the EU was “sanctioning the main Israeli organisations guilty of supporting the extremist and violent colonisation of the West Bank, as well as their leaders”.

3. Agreed with the EU 100%. This needs to stop. Its not about land, it's about water

With the increases in population in general everywhere, including the western Middle East, these settlements are usually made where there is water. Once wells are established they then cut off that supply to everyone else. These water grabs have been going on for decades (centuries really). The entire area is a Canary of what the worlds future will look like in 50+ years.
