Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said Canada is looking at imposing sanctions on “extremist” settlers in the West Bank, Reuters reports.
“We are looking into how to make sure that those responsible for extremist violence or extreme settler violence in the West Bank are held to account for it,” Trudeau told reporters in Waterloo, Ontario.
“Violence in the West Bank is absolutely unacceptable and puts at risk peace, stability in the region and the path towards the two-state solution that is absolutely essential,” Trudeau said.
Trudeau’s comments add to signs of the West’s growing displeasure with the policies of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
