Two American Israeli citizens who were sanctioned by the Biden administration for alleged violence against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank have sued various US agencies and officials, claiming that the action violated their constitutional rights. The individuals, Issachar Manne and Levi Yitzchak Pilant, have filed a lawsuit in a Washington federal court against the US Treasury and State Department, as well as the Office of Foreign Asset Controls. The plaintiffs argue that the sanctions resulted in their credit cards being canceled and their bank accounts frozen, preventing them from making essential payments. They also claim that the accusations against them are untrue and that the executive order imposing the sanctions could violate their right to due process.
