The European Union announces several sanctions on Israeli far-right activists.
The EU sanctions Bentzi Gopstein for his role as head of the Lehava anti-miscegenation group, and Baruch Marzel, accusing him of calling for ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
Settler activists Zvi Bar Yosef, Moshe Sharvit, and Isaschar Manne, and illegal outposts Moshe’s Farm and Zvi’s Farm are sanctioned over their alleged role in violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.
The EU also sanctions the Tzav 9 organization for its protests that block humanitarian aid trucks heading toward the Gaza Strip.
