David Cameron: Extremist settlers 'threatening prospects for peace'

British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said in a statement that Israel's extemist settlers "are undermining security and stability and threatening prospects for peace” in Palestine.

He added that the latest UK sanctions announced by the Foreign Office earlier on Friday target "two groups leading these attacks and four individuals who are directly responsible for egregious violence against Palestinian civilians".

The foreign ministry named the four individuals on the sanctions list as Noam Federman, a “radical settler activist”, and Neria Ben Pazi who is said to be responsible for “illegally constructing three illegal outposts," Eden Levi, and Elisha Yered.

Hilltop Youth and Lehava are the two groups targeted by the sanctions.
