Members phkrause Posted February 13 Author Members Share Posted February 13 Netanyahu protests new U.S. sanctions power Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this weekend pushed back against President Biden's recent executive order regarding sanctions against settlers in the West Bank, Axios' Barak Ravid scoops. Netanyahu's initial response to the executive order was mild. But he took a harder line Sunday during a phone call with Biden. Details: Biden's executive order allows the U.S. to impose new sanctions on Israeli settlers — and potentially Israeli politicians and government officials — involved in violent attacks against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Netanyahu's intensifying criticism of the order suggests he believes it could have unprecedented implications for the entire settlements enterprise in the West Bank.

Members phkrause Posted February 25 Author Members Share Posted February 25 Online fundraisers for violent West Bank settlers have raised thousands – despite international sanctions When the Biden administration imposed sanctions against Israeli settler Yinon Levi for allegedly assaulting Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank, his supporters sprang into action. Within days, a fundraiser on an Israeli crowdfunding site collected over $140,000. But those funds are now being scrutinized. Read more. Why this matters: The contributions may be putting donors, crowdfunding sites and the financial services firms that process the payments at risk of penalties for violating U.S. sanctions. The sanctions prevent the targeted parties from accessing the U.S. financial system and freeze their assets. In Levi’s case, funds from the crowdsourcing campaign were collected by a nonprofit under the auspices of the Israeli settler council in the area. Sanctions experts say the order gives the U.S. government authority to blacklist Israeli entities that allow U.S. citizens or companies to violate sanctions.

The army says he posed no threat JENIN, West Bank (AP) — When Mujahid Abadi stepped outside to see if Israeli forces had entered his uncle’s neighborhood, he was shot in the arm and the foot.

Members phkrause Posted July 7 Author Members Share Posted July 7 Israel approves plans for over 5,000 new homes in West Bank settlements The plans are the latest in a campaign to accelerate settlement expansion, aimed at cementing Israeli control over the territory and preventing the establishment of a future Palestinian state. Read more. Why this matters: Israel’s turbocharged settlement drive threatens to further stoke tensions in the West Bank, which has seen a surge in violence since the war in Gaza began on Oct. 7. In an escalation over past months, settlers have carried out more than 1,000 attacks on Palestinians, causing deaths, damaging property and in some cases prompting Palestinians to flee villages. The Palestinians seek the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza – areas captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war – for an independent state. Netanyahu’s government is dominated by settlers and their supporters who approve of a rapid expansion drive that is, in part, intended to ensure a Palestinian state cannot be created.
