UK Sanctions Tirzah Valley, Meitarim, and Shuvi Eretz Outposts Amid 1,400 Incidents of Violence in West Bank
Oct 15, 2024, 02:38 PM
The UK government has announced sanctions targeting three illegal settler outposts in the West Bank—Tirzah Valley Farm Outpost, Meitarim Outpost, and Shuvi Eretz Outpost—as well as four organizations accused of supporting extremist Israeli settlers. This decision comes amid rising concerns over settler violence, with over 1,400 incidents reported in the West Bank since October 2023, according to the United Nations. The sanctions aim to address the ongoing violence against Palestinians, which includes forced evictions and land seizures deemed illegal under international and Israeli law. Officials, including David Lammy, emphasized the need for accountability and urged the Israeli government to take serious action against the violence perpetrated by settlers.
