EU foreign ministers have agreed on new sanctions against violent Israeli settlers in the West Bank.

European Union foreign ministers reached a political agreement on Monday regarding the imposition of new sanctions against violent Israeli settlers in occupied West Bank. Kaja Kallas, the head of EU diplomacy, stated upon arrival at the meeting that she expects these sanctions to be adopted. The sanctions target individuals and organizations involved in the expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, including asset freezes and travel bans.

These plans were previously suspended due to opposition from Hungary, under the leadership of former Prime Minister Viktor Orban. However, following the change of government in Budapest, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani stated that an agreement has now become possible. This decision marks an important step in the EU's foreign policy regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
