EU foreign ministers on Monday discussed imposing an import ban on products from Israeli settlements, after pressure from a number of member states.
"Everybody agrees that the situation in the West Bank is really intolerable," EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas said at the start of a meeting in Brussels, according to AFP.
"What is happening in the West Bank is actually making it more and more impossible that the two-state solution ever can come into effect," Kallas added.
Several EU countries, including Spain, Ireland and the Netherlands, have already imposed their own trade restrictions on Israeli settlement goods following advice from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) which obligated all nations to end complicity with the illegal occupation of Palestinian territory.
