Singapore imposed sanctions on Israeli settler leaders, condemned settlement expansion and Gaza operations, and reaffirmed support for a two-state solution.

Singapore announced targeted sanctions on Israeli settler group leaders on September 22, 2025, citing settlement expansion and violence in the West Bank and Gaza, while condemning Israel’s military operations in Gaza as violating international humanitarian law. Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan called the E1 project a threat to the two-state solution, urged an end to settlement construction, and stressed that humanitarian aid access must improve. Singapore reaffirmed its support for a two-state solution, its commitment to recognizing a Palestinian state when conditions allow, and its balanced foreign policy, noting strong community-led humanitarian efforts. Though maintaining security ties with Israel, it has criticized actions by both Israel and Hamas, with sanctions seen as symbolic but principled.
