Washington - Saba:
The US State and Treasury Departments decided to impose sanctions on three settlers and a Zionist company practicing violence and colonization in the Palestinian territories in the occupied West Bank.
In a statement on its website, the US State Department claimed that "the United States continues to take action against those who undermine peace, security and stability in the West Bank."
The statement explained that the sanctions included the "El Hari Yehuda" settlement company, and three extremist settlers, namely: Shabtai Kushlovsky, Itamar Yehuda Levy and Zohar Sabah.
The statement added: The individuals and organizations to be sanctioned are linked to "terrorist activities affecting the West Bank," such as terrorizing Palestinians and residents of the area, forcing them to relocate and seizing their property.
He noted that the individuals and organizations have engaged in threats and violence against Palestinians, even in their own houses, and have participated in the killing of Palestinian livestock , the destruction of their pastures and houses to disrupt their livelihoods.
In parallel with the genocide in Gaza Strip, the Zionist enemy army and settlers expanded their attacks in the West Bank, including east Al-Quds, which resulted in a total of 784 martyrs and about 6,300 wounded, according to official Palestinian data.
With US support, the Zionist enemy has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 147,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children , women, and more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction and famine that resulted in dozens of children and the elderly, in one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world.
