Israeli settlers in occupied West Bank emboldened not deterred by international sanctions
More than a dozen Israeli settlers have been targeted by international sanctions over accusations of attacks and harassment against Palestinians in the West Bank. The measures are meant as a deterrent. They expose people to asset freezes and travel and visa bans. But the measures have had minimal impact, instead emboldening settlers as attacks and land-grabbing escalate.
