Canada is considering whether to sanction Israeli settlers in the West Bank who have been accused of attacking Palestinians and Israeli peace activists in the territory, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says.
On Thursday (Feb. 1), the U.S. State Department issued financial sanctions against Israeli settlers it says are “escalating violence” in the territory.
The United States has also issued travel bans against such individuals, but Ottawa has not followed suit, saying those who commit certain crimes are already supposed to be barred from entering the country.
