President Joe Biden’s administration announced new sanctions on April 19 targeting two fundraisers that it deemed to be supporting extremist settlers in the West Bank.
The Treasury Department stated that the new sanctions specifically target the Mount Hebron Fund and Shlom Asiraich, a pair of fundraising organizations that had facilitated payments for two individuals whom the Biden administration had sanctioned in February for suspected extremist activity: Yinon Levi and David Chai Chasdai.
