OTTAWA, Feb 4 (Reuters) - Canada will impose sanctions on Israeli settlers who incite violence in the West Bank and introduce new sanctions on Hamas leaders, Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said on Sunday, after the United States took similar action last week.

On Thursday, the United States sanctioned four Israeli men accused of being involved in violence in the occupied territory.

In an interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corp on Sunday, Joly said some settlers “will be sanctioned” and “we will also bring new sanctions on Hamas leaders”.
