Summary
Six countries led by the UK and France have imposed new sanctions on those 'involved in financing, inciting and carrying out violence in the West Bank', and Paris has barred Israel's finance minister from entry. Israel's foreign ministry said the measures came from 'governments that have failed against antisemitism'.
