Nayem characterized European and Canadian sanctions targeting settlement products as a meaningful but inadequate response to Israeli activity in occupied Palestinian territory, according to Shehab Wire. He argued that trade measures alone cannot address the scope of violations he described.
The official insisted that prosecution of those responsible for war crimes must accompany economic sanctions. He did not elaborate on which individuals or entities should face legal action, nor did he specify what additional measures he considered necessary beyond the existing sanctions framework.
