ALBAWABA - The United Kingdom announced sanctioning four Israeli 'extremist settlers' amid escalating violence in the West Bank.

The settlers are accused of violating human rights against Palestinians in the West Bank, after a similar step by the United States earlier this month, when it sanctioned settlers and barred them from entering the country. 

UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron said in a statement that Israel must also take stronger action and put a stop to settler violence.
