Belgium urges EU sanctions on Israeli 'extremists'

The EU should look at barring “extremist” Israelis who call for violence against Palestinians from visiting Europe, Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo said, AFP reports.

The liberal premier pointed to Israeli violence against Palestinians in the West Bank and said the lack of action against such “violent extremists” was “unacceptable”.

“Our country must ensure that those who commit serious crimes, for example, those who commit violence in the West Bank, can be prevented from entering our country and the European Union,” De Croo told the Belgian parliament.
