UK Sanctions Israeli People, Groups for Violence Against Palestinians

The U.K. Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation last week sanctioned four people and two entities linked to violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.

The sanctions target Israeli nationals Noam Federman, Eden Levi and Elisha Yered, along with Neria Ben Pazi, for either threatening or perpetrating acts of violence against Palestinians. OFSI also sanctioned Hilltop Youth and Lehava, far-right Israeli groups that the U.K. said have supported violence against Palestinians. The U.K. added each of the people and entities to its global human rights sanctions regime.
