Government to consider imposing sanctions on Israeli citizens who commit violence: Justin Trudeau

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has confirmed that his government is considering imposing sanctions on Israeli citizens involved in violence in the West Bank.

Answering questions from journalists in Waterloo, Ontario on Friday, he said that violence in the West Bank cannot be tolerated at all. The prime minister said Canada is looking at how to deal with those responsible for the violence and is considering possible sanctions.

It is to be noted that this strong comment of Trudeau has come when US President Joe Biden has announced the imposition of financial and travel restrictions on Israeli citizens who attack Palestinians in the West Bank.

4 Israeli citizens have been found in the sanctions list by the US in this regard. These orders have been issued at a time when the pressure of Arab American voters on Biden was increasing in the election year.
