Australia Sanctions Israelis, Group for West Bank Violence

Australia this week announced Magnitsky-style human rights sanctions against seven Israelis and one entity for violence against Palestinians in the West Bank. The designations target Yinon Levi, Zvi Bar Yosef, Neria Ben Pazi, Elisha Yered, David Chai Chasdai, Einan Tanjil, Meir Ettinger and Hilltop Youth, according to Australia's updated sanctions list. Australia said Hilltop Youth is “responsible for inciting and perpetrating violence against Palestinian communities.”
