Biden Admin Brings New Sanctions Against West Bank Settler Fundraisers

President Joe Biden’s administration announced new sanctions on Friday targeting two fundraisers they deemed to be supporting extremist settlers in the West Bank.

The U.S. Treasury Department said the new sanctions specifically target the Mount Hebron Fund and Shlom Asiraich; a pair of fundraising organizations that had facilitated payments for two individuals whom the Biden administration had sanctioned in February for suspected extremist activity: Yinon Levi and David Chai Chasdai.
