The sanction comes from the calls for attention and the executive order issued by the Biden administration, issued in February, about the violence of the Zionist occupiers in the West Bank.
The United States sanctioned Lehava, an extremist Israeli organization, including three settlers members and more than four outposts of the conglomerate in the West Bank.

The sanction comes from the calls for attention and the executive order issued by the Biden administration, issued in February, about the violence of the Zionist occupiers in the West Bank.
“The United States remains deeply concerned about extremist violence and instability in the West Bank, which undermines Israel’s own security,” State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a statement.
“We strongly encourage the Government of Israel to take immediate steps to hold these individuals and entities accountable. In the absence of such steps, we will continue to impose our own accountability measures,” he added.
According to the White House statement, Lehava members “have been involved in repeated acts of violence against Palestinians, often targeting sensitive or volatile areas”,
It should be remembered that the United States previously sanctioned the founder and leader of Lehava, Ben-Zion Gopstein.
The Biden Government also imposed sanctions on Isaschar Manne and his agricultural outpost, which he established “in the hills south of Hebron in 2020 after seizing 150 hectares of land”.
On the other hand, the Biden administration also imposed sanctions on Tsav 9 last month for its role in disrupting humanitarian convoys to Gaza.
