Spain will impose sanctions on violent Israeli settlers in the West Bank unilaterally if its European Union partners fail to reach an agreement on the issue, Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares said.
He said Spain, which has also been critical of Israel’s military offensive in Gaza, will push for the approval of such sanctions during a meeting of EU’s foreign ministers held in Brussels, Reuters reports.
“If there’s no agreement, Spain will proceed individually with these sanctions against the violent settlers,” Albares told reporters before the meeting.
