EU approves sanctions on Israeli settlers over West Bank violence

The European Union has agreed to impose sanctions on Israeli settlers and settler groups in the West Bank who are accused of violence against Palestinians. The decision came after Hungary dropped its veto, allowing EU foreign ministers to approve the measures.

The sanctions target individuals and groups linked to the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as Hamas leaders. The move is part of a broader EU effort to address rising violence in the occupied West Bank.
