France says settler violence justifies its sanctions against Israeli minister Ben Gvir French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot condemned on Wednesday violence in the occupied West Bank by Israeli settlers against Palestinians, and added that this justified France's recent sanctions against Israel's far-right police minister Itamar Ben Gvir. "What is happening today in the West Bank is utterly disgraceful and should fill us all with revulsion," Barrot wrote on X. "This is why we have sanctioned Israeli minister Ben Gvir, whose recent comments are unacceptable and inhuman," added Barrot.
