Trudeau says Canada looking to impose sanctions on 'extremist' Israeli settlers [View all]
Canada is considering following the lead of the US, which yesterday imposed sanctions on four Israeli settlers linked to violence in the occupied West Bank.
"We are looking into how to make sure that those responsible for extremist violence or extreme settler violence in the West Bank are held to account for it," Trudeau told reporters in Waterloo, Ontario.
Trudeau's comments add to signs of the West's growing displeasure with the policies of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Britain, the European Union and more than a dozen partner countries including Australia and Canada have called on Israel to take immediate and concrete steps to tackle settler violence in the West Bank.
