#Palestine / More US Sanctions: Two West Bank Outposts and Three Settlers
The #US has imposed its second round of sanctions on Israeli settlers since President Joe #Biden's executive order, marking the first-ever sanctions on entire Israeli outposts in the West Bank. The sanctioned outposts are Moshe's Farms and Zvi's Farms, and the three settlers targeted are Zvi Bar Yosef, Neriya Ben Pazi, and Moshe Sharvit.
The decision is seen as a significant step by the Biden administration to address the issue of extremist settler violence against Palestinian and Israeli civilians in the occupied territories.

According to news site Ynet,
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said that following an unequivocal demand he submitted, together with #Netanyahu and the Minister for Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer, the American administration has sent a letter dramatically reducing, in his words, the sanctions imposed on settlers. According to Smotrich, as a result, banks will be able to release the accounts that were completely frozen.
