The United States has introduced new sanctions targeting Israeli individuals and their entities for their involvement in violent activities against Palestinians in the West Bank.

The State Department said in a statement that the new sanctions were aimed at promoting “accountability for individuals and entities associated with actions that undermine peace, security, and stability in the West Bank.”

Those sanctioned include various entities, including “Moshes Farm” and” Zvis Farm,” which have been identified as “outposts” that are used to promote violence against Palestinians. In addition, various individuals, including Zvi Bar Yosef (who owns Zvis Farm), Neriya Ben Pazi, and Moshe Sharvit, have been placed on the sanctions list for their actions against Palestinians. According to the State Department, Moshe Sharvit “repeatedly harassed, threatened, and attacked Palestinian civilians and Israeli human rights defenders.”

John Kirby, the national security communications adviser, commented on the sanctions, saying, “These individuals have engaged in repeated violence against Palestinians and in some cases, Israelis, too, in the West Bank. And as we made clear before, extremist settler violence that we’ve seen increase sharply since the attacks on the 7th of October threatens peace, security and stability of the West Bank.”
