EU Approves First Sanctions on Israeli Settlers After Years of Deadlock

The European Union has approved sanctions against violent Israeli settlers and Hamas representatives, marking the first time the bloc has reached political consensus on such measures. The breakthrough came after years of deadlock, with Hungary's government playing a key role in enabling the agreement. The sanctions target individuals involved in violence, representing a significant shift in EU policy toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The move demonstrates the EU's attempt to take a more balanced approach by sanctioning actors from both sides of the conflict.
