UK Targets Israeli Settler Leader with Sanctions
UK government sanctions Daniella Weiss, the 'godmother' of Israel's settler movement, in a move to address violence against Palestinians.
The UK has imposed sanctions on Daniella Weiss, a prominent figure in the Israeli settler movement, in an effort to combat violence against Palestinian communities. Weiss, 79, leads a radical organization and has played a crucial role in establishing Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy emphasized the importance of holding extremist settlers accountable for their actions. Along with Weiss, other settlers and organizations have also faced sanctions. The UK has also stalled free trade talks with Israel due to its controversial policies in the region. Israel's government criticized the sanctions, claiming they were unjustified. As the situation remains tense, the UK, France, and Canada have called for humanitarian assistance to be allowed into Gaza, emphasizing the need for urgent aid.
