eu verhängt erstmals sanktionen gegen israelische siedler im westjordanland

Al-Mughajir: Rauch füllt den Himmel, nachdem israelische Siedler Eigentum palästinensischer Dorfbewohner in Brand gesetzt haben.

Die EU verhängt erstmals Sanktionen wegen der Gewalt radikaler israelischer Siedler gegen Palästinenser im Westjordanland. Das meldete die Nachrichtenagentur dpa unter Berufung auf Diplomaten. Demnach beschlossen die EU-Mitgliedsstaaten die Strafmaßnahmen in einem schriftlichen Verfahren.

Die Sanktionen richten sich den Angaben zufolge gegen Personen und Organisationen, die für Gewalt gegen Palästinenser im Westjordanland verantwortlich sein sollen. Sie werden mithilfe des EU-Sanktionsinstruments zur Ahndung von schweren Menschenrechtsverstößen verhängt. Personen, die betroffen sind, dürfen nicht mehr in die EU einreisen und keine Geschäfte mehr mit EU-Bürgern machen. Außerdem müssen ihre in der EU vorhandenen Konten und andere Vermögenswerte eingefroren werden.

Die Namen der Betroffenen sollen in Kürze im EU-Amtsblatt veröffentlicht werden. Nach Angaben der dpa handelt es sich im ersten Schritt um vier Personen und zwei Organisationen.

Mit den Sanktionen folgt die EU dem Beispiel der USA. Diese haben bereits Strafmaßnahmen verhängt, die sich gegen extremistische israelische Siedler richten. Die USA werfen den Betroffenen unter anderem vor, sich im Westjordanland an Gewalt gegen palästinensische Zivilisten beteiligt zu haben.

Der UN-Hochkommissar für Menschenrechte, Volker Türk, hatte die Entwicklungen in dem Gebiet erst in der vergangenen Woche wieder als höchst besorgniserregend bezeichnet. Im Westjordanland würden Palästinenser ständig von Hunderten israelischen Siedlern angegriffen, die oft vom Militär unterstützt würden, ließ er mitteilen. Israel sei als Besatzungsmacht verpflichtet, Palästinenser vor Siedlerattacken und rechtswidriger Gewalt durch Sicherheitskräfte zu schützen, so Türk.
