The United Kingdom has imposed new sanctions targeting three illegal Israeli settler outposts—Tirzah Valley Farm, Meitarim, and Shuvi Eretz—and four organizations accused of supporting violence against Palestinian communities in the West Bank. This action follows a rise in violence incidents, with reports indicating approximately 1,400 such incidents in the region. The UK government has emphasized that these measures are a response to human rights violations and has called on Israel to cease the expansion of settlements on Palestinian land. The sanctions aim to hold accountable those involved in unlawful activities in the area.
