France and allied countries are considering coordinated sanctions targeting Israel regarding the West Bank, according to Al Arabiya. The measures would include asset freezes and travel bans, but the sanctions have yet to be finalized. Countries may adopt different lists of individuals for the sanctions. The move comes amid violence by Israeli settlers in the West Bank. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has expanded settlements, and diplomats say that expansion is intended to reduce the likelihood of a Palestinian state. Negative sentiment in many Western countries toward Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has grown. Efforts are blocked at the European Union to advance tougher measures against Israel, according to Al Arabiya.
