London - Ma'an - Britain imposed sanctions on Tuesday on organizations involved in building Israeli colonial sites in the West Bank, and urged Israel to "stop settlement expansion on Palestinian lands." Britain said the sanctions target seven colonial organisations "involved in providing support for, inciting, promoting or facilitating activities amounting to serious human rights violations against Palestinians". "The Israeli government's inaction has led to increased impunity and allowed settler violence to continue unchecked," British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said, noting that settlers "have also targeted schools and families with young children." "The Israeli government must take strict measures against settler violence and stop settlement expansion on Palestinian lands," he added. Britain said the sanctions, which include freezing the assets of these organizations, are the third it has imposed on people involved in settler violence in the West Bank. Source: Maan News Agency
