The United States has announced new sanctions targeting Amana, the largest organization involved in illegal settlement and outpost development in the West Bank, along with its subsidiary, Binyani Bar AMANA. This organization is closely linked to the Israeli extremist settler movement and has been instrumental in establishing numerous illegal settler outposts, contributing to the dispossession of Palestinian land.

In addition to Amana, sanctions have also been imposed on the Eyal Hari Yehuda Company and its owner, Idemar Yehuda Levy, as well as Shabtai Koslevsky and Zohar Sabak, who have been identified as contributing to the rising violence in the region. The U.S. government has emphasized its commitment to combating extremist settler violence, having sanctioned a total of 33 entities and individuals over the past ten months for their roles in escalating tensions in the West Bank.

The U.S. administration reiterated its stance that there is no justification for violence against civilians and expressed a commitment to working with both Israel and the Palestinian Authority to de-escalate the ongoing violence, which has resulted in numerous casualties among both Israeli and Palestinian civilians. Officials have urged the Israeli government to take stronger actions to prevent violence and hold accountable those responsible, while also indicating that the U.S. will continue to take independent measures in the absence of adequate responses from Israel.
