The UK's announced a fresh wave of sanctions against extremist settler groups in the West Bank. 

The measures target three outposts and four organisations which provide or promote support for violence against Palestinian communities. 

British Foreign Minister David Lammy says the inaction of the Israel Government has allowed an environment of impunity to flourish. 

Europe correspondent Gavin Grey told Ryan Bridge it's the third set of sanctions imposed since February. 

He says the previous Government had also been prepared to sanction two Israeli Ministers over comments about blocking aid to Gaza.
