US Sanctions Israeli Extremists Over West Bank Violence

The United States imposed sanctions on Israeli individuals, entities, and outposts linked to violence against Palestinians in the West Bank, with a focus on far-right group Lehava and its members' repeated violent acts. The Biden administration urged Israel to hold these accountable, triggering tensions within Netanyahu's coalition. Sanctions targeted unauthorized outposts used for violence and displacement of Palestinians, emphasizing the need for immediate action from Israel to address the situation.
