Canada announced a fifth round of sanctions on June 10, 2026, targeting individuals and groups it says are responsible for financing, enabling, and carrying out settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. The sanctions include two Israeli settlers, according to a statement from Global Affairs Canada.
The measures freeze any assets the designated individuals hold in Canada and prohibit Canadians from engaging in financial transactions with them. The Canadian government stated that the sanctions are part of ongoing efforts to address instability and human rights abuses in the region.
This round follows previous sanctions imposed in 2024 and 2025, which targeted extremist settlers and organizations involved in violence or supporting illegal outposts. Canada has coordinated with allies, including the United States and the United Kingdom, on similar measures.
The announcement comes amid continued tensions in the West Bank, where the UN has reported increased settler attacks on Palestinian communities. Canada reiterated its call for a two-state solution and for all parties to uphold international law.
