France will launch a process to ban products from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said on Tuesday, amid rising settler violence that has further undermined prospects for a two-state solution with the Palestinians. “France is going to put an end to its commerce with Israeli settlements in Palestine, along with 11 other countries which have also undertaken similar engagements,” Barrot wrote on X.
