US Unveils West Bank Sanctions for Two Entities, One Person
The Office of Foreign Assets Control on April 19 sanctioned two entities for raising funds for two Israelis who were sanctioned in February for attacking West Bank Palestinians (see 2402010053).
Fundraising campaigns established by Mount Hebron Fund for Yinon Levi and by Shlom Asiraich for David Chai Chasdai generated the equivalent of $140,000 and $31,000, respectively, OFAC said.
Also on April 19, the State Department sanctioned Ben-Zion Gopstein, the founder and leader of Lehava, an organization whose members have engaged in violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.
