The United States has imposed sanctions on four Israeli settlers accused of attacking Palestinian communities in the occupied West Bank.
The individuals targeted by the sanctions—David Chai Chasdai, Einan Tanjil, Yinon Levi, and Shalom Zickerman—are alleged to have engaged in actions that undermine stability and security in both Israel and the Palestinian territories.
The sanctions, announced on Thursday, involve freezing the assets of the individuals in the US and restricting financial dealings with them. The move comes amid growing pressure on President Joe Biden over his staunch support for Israel, particularly in the wake of its military actions in Gaza.
David Chai Chasdai, Einan Tanjil, and Yinon Levi are accused of assaulting and intimidating Palestinians, while Shalom Zickerman is alleged to have assaulted Israeli activists. The sanctions aim to address the issue of settler violence in the West Bank, with the White House emphasizing the grave threat it poses to peace, security, and stability in the region.
