<p>The UK continues to take a strong stance against settler violence. Extremist settlers,
by targeting and attacking Palestinian civilians, are undermining security and stability
for both Israelis and Palestinians. 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>
