"Extremist Israeli settlers are threatening Palestinians, often at gunpoint, and forcing them off land that is rightfully theirs," British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said. "This behavior is illegal and unacceptable. Israel must also take stronger action and put a stop to settler violence.

The US also imposed sanctions earlier this month on four Israelis it accused of being involved in settler violence in the West Bank.
