The Biden administration is imposing sanctions on entities accused of fundraising for extremist Israeli West Bank settlers who attacked Palestinians.
The Biden administration on Friday imposed sanctions on two entities accused of fundraising for extremist Israel settlers, as well as the founder of an organization whose members regularly assault Palestinians. The Treasury Department announcement comes as the West Bank has seen some of the worst violence perpetrated by extremist settlers against Palestinians since the war began in the Gaza Strip.
Friday's order stopped short of sanctioning the council itself. Shlom Asiraich raises money for imprisoned Jewish extremists. Rights groups say the expansion of illegal settler outposts in the West Bank is enthusiastically supported by the regional councils and nudged along by Israel’s national government — the most far-right in the country’s history. The Biden order also skirted sanctioning crowdfunding websites on which funds were raised: GiveChak and New York-based Charidy.
