The European Union is considering a move to block violent Israeli settlers from entering European Union countries.
A report earlier this year by the consuls general in East Jerusalem and Ramallah asked officials in Brussels to draw up a blacklist of “known violent settlers” who could be forbidden to enter the 27 EU states.
Subsequently, the EU panel which oversees relations with the Middle East, known as the Maghreb-Mashreq committee (MaMa), submitted recommendations to the diplomatic-security committee in October.
According to a Ha’aretz report this week, the MaMa document said: "If settler violence is not dealt with preventively, it will increasingly obstruct efforts by both parties for solving the conflict."
