The US has announced new sanctions against extremist settlers in the West Bank who are funded by the Israeli government, as Washington steps up its attempt to rein in worsening settler violence.

The targeted individual in Wednesday’s sanctions was Yitzhak Levi Filant, the security coordinator at Yitzhar settlement, just south of Nablus. He, like other settler security coordinators, draws a salary directly from the Israeli defence ministry.

Sanctions won’t do much if they get money, weapons and IDF cover from the israeli government. Which in turn gets their funding directly from Biden.

This feels like that time in February when they sanctioned 4 colonists but then lifted the bulk of the sanctions when Smotrich told Biden he was being a naughty boy.
