These sanctions include financial
restrictions and travel limitations. This decision aims to address the
ongoing settler violence that threatens stability in the West Bank, Al-Mamlaka TV
reported.
Foreign Secretary David Cameron emphasized
the need for Israel to take stronger action and put an end to settler violence,
which often involves illegal behavior.
Over the past year, there have been
unprecedented levels of violence by extremist settlers in the West Bank. Some
residents of illegal Israeli settlements and outposts have used harassment,
intimidation, and physical violence to pressure
Palestinian communities to
leave their land. Among the four individuals subject to these sanctions:
Moshe Sharvit: An extremist settler who has threatened, harassed, and
assaulted Palestinian shepherds and their families in the Jordan Valley.
In October 2023, one community of twenty families fled after Sharvit
attacked the residents and gave them a five-hour ultimatum to leave.
Yinon Levy: The leader of the Meitarim Farm outpost,
founded in 2021. The settlers associated with this outpost have used
physical violence and property destruction to displace Palestinian
communities, including Zanuta, in October 2023.
