The Foreign Secretary has made this clear to his Israeli counterparts, most recently during his visit to the region on 17 April. The Israeli authorities must clamp down on those responsible.</p><p>On 3 May, the Foreign Secretary announced new sanctions on extremist groups and individuals for inciting and perpetrating settler violence in the West Bank. The measures impose financial restrictions on the entities and individuals, and travel restrictions on the individuals. The UK will not hesitate to take further action if needed, including through further sanctions.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 08/05/2024 16:02:26 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
