Hungary vetoes European sanctions on Israeli settlers and Spain announces that it will punish them alone. Twenty-six of the 27 EU partners agreed with the Spanish proposal to immediately sanction Israeli settlers known for their violence, xenophobia and radicalism.

But the crudeness of their actions, or the fact that the US, Canada or the United Kingdom have already implemented similar punitive frameworks, has not convinced Budapest. There will be no sanctions on 27, so those who want to continue along that line, like Spain, will have to do so bilaterally.
