Months after they were promised, Ottawa still hasn’t imposed sanctions on violent Israeli settlers

Mourners cry after taking the last look at the body of Qusai Matan, 19, during his funeral in the West Bank village of Burqa, east of Ramallah, Saturday, Aug. 5, 2023. On Friday the Palestinian Health Ministry said that armed Israeli settlers had entered the West Bank village of Burqa and shot and killed 19-year-old Qusai Matan. The Israeli military said it had received reports that Matan died as a result of settlers shooting toward Palestinians in the village and said it's investigating.

The Government of Canada has announced multiple rounds of sanctions against various parties in the Middle East since October 7. But it still hasn’t engaged sanctions against violent Israeli settlers, despite promising to do so.
