On Friday, the United States and the European Union announced a coordinated effort to impose sanctions on various Israeli entities and individuals linked to extremist activities in the West Bank. The EU targeted four individuals and two groups, Lehava and Hilltop Youth, for serious human rights abuses against Palestinians, including torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. Concurrently, the U.S. imposed sanctions on Ben Zion Gopstein, a prominent far-right activist and leader of Lehava, and two entities accused of fundraising for these violent extremists. Gopstein is noted for his close ties to Ben Gvir's inner circle. These measures aim to address the ongoing violence and destabilization in the region, particularly the actions that have affected Palestinian communities.
