The US State Department on Thursday announced that it is imposing sanctions on multiple Israeli individuals and entities "for being involved in violence or threats of violence targeting civilians, seizure or dispossession of property by private actors, or actions that threaten the peace, stability and security of the West Bank; or being owned or controlled by an individual designated under this order." In addition, the leaders of Tzav 9, the organization that protests against the provision of aid into Gaza while Israeli civilians continue to be held hostages, were targeted in the new round of sanctions.
Sanctions were announced against Isachar Manne, who is accused of "being a foreign person who is responsible for or complicit in, or for having directly or indirectly engaged or attempted to engage in planning, ordering, otherwise directing, or participating in an act of violence or threat of violence targeting civilians, affecting the West Bank; and pursuant to section 1(a)(i)(B)(4) for being responsible for or complicit in, or for having directly or indirectly engaged or attempted to engage in planning, ordering, otherwise directing, or participating in seizure or dispossession of property by private actors, affecting the West Bank."
The Manne Farm outpost was also targeted for "being owned or controlled by, or for having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, MANNE; and pursuant to section 1(a)(i)(B)(4) for being responsible for or complicit in, or for having directly or indirectly engaged or attempted to engage in planning, ordering, otherwise directing, or participating in seizure or dispossession of property by private actors, affecting the West Bank."
