"Israeli Finance Minister, a proponent of settlements, called the sanctions an "inappropriate and unacceptable step between friendships" and an undemocratic intervention in Israeli democracy that harms freedom of expression and protest among Israeli citizens....The European Union sanctions, under the EU Global Human Rights Sanctions Regime, include an asset freeze and a travel ban to the EU countries. Including Monday's listings, 113 natural and legal persons and 31 entities from a range of countries have been sanctioned under the Regime."
