The US Treasury Department announced on Friday that sanctions have been imposed on two organizations for fundraising on behalf of violent Israeli extremists in the West Bank. The sanctioned groups, Mount Hebron Fund and Shlom Asiraich, were found to have established crowdfunding campaigns to raise funds for Yinon Levi and David Chai Chasdai, who were previously sanctioned by the US in February under a new executive order targeting individuals perpetrating violence in the West Bank.
In addition to these sanctions, the State Department also announced sanctions on Ben-Zion Gopstein, the founder and leader of Lehava, an organization whose members have been involved in violent acts, including assaults on Palestinian civilians. The Treasury Department highlighted these actions in a statement released on Friday.
