The U.S. has imposed sanctions on organizations and firms involved in illegal settlement development in the occupied West Bank, including Amana, the largest organization funding unauthorized settlements. The Treasury also sanctioned Eyal Hari Yehuda Co., Hashomer Yosh co-founder Shabtai Koshlevsky, and Israeli citizen Zohar Sabah. The penalties come as settlers in the territory anticipate a more favorable approach from the incoming Trump administration. The sanctions deny access to property or financial assets held in the U.S. and prohibit U.S. companies and citizens from doing business with the sanctioned entities.
