According to Al-Mamlaka TV, Colonna stated, "The
situation in the
West Bank raises our concern, especially due to the extremely
numerous cases of violence committed by extremist settlers."
In recent weeks, France has opened the door for discussions
among
European Union members regarding possible sanctions by the Union against
Israeli settlers who target Palestinians in the West Bank. However, there has
not been a consensus on the matter so far.
On Monday, the foreign ministers of the European Union are
discussing possible next steps in response to the crisis in the Middle East,
including a campaign against the financial resources of the Islamic Resistance
Movement (Hamas) and a travel ban on
Israeli settlers responsible for acts of
violence in the occupied West Bank.
