Israeli leaders denounce EU sanctions on West Bank settlers
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the European Union’s decision to sanction Israeli settlers accused of land‑stealing in the occupied West Bank, calling the move immoral. The EU’s stance was also criticised by far‑right minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who labeled the sanctions antisemitic. Middle East Eye’s live‑blog updates (IDs 32674, 32675) echo Netanyahu’s condemnation, while the report on Ben Gvir (ID 32681) highlights his harsher language, showing slight variation in the quoted remarks.
