The U.S. State Department recently announced the imposition of sanctions on two Israelis and a violent extremist group in the West Bank. This decision was made in response to indications received by the United States that Iran is preparing for a ballistic missile attack against Israel.
The sanctions target two Israeli individuals, including a violent Israeli settler and the CEO of Hashomer Yosh, an organization operating in Judea and Samaria. Hashomer Yosh claims to support farmers in the region who face economic challenges and agricultural crimes. The State Department spokesperson highlighted that the actions of these individuals have contributed to an environment of violence and instability, undermining peace and security in the West Bank.
