EU Sanctions Israeli Settlers in Occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem

HeadlineJul 16, 2024

The European Union has announced sanctions against five Israeli settlers and three other entities responsible for “serious and systematic human rights abuses” against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. Those sanctioned include the group Tzav 9, which the EU said regularly blocks humanitarian aid trucks with food, water and fuel headed to Gaza. Also on the list were Ben-Zion Gopstein, founder of the far-right Jewish supremacist group Lehava, which means “the flame,” and Isaschar Manne. All three have also been sanctioned by the U.S. government.
