Yinon Levi, a settler recently sanctioned by the US for alleged acts of violence in the West Bank, has had his Israeli bank accounts frozen, Kan news reports.
The report says Bank Leumi informed Levi that both his private and business accounts are now frozen.
In its announcement of sanctions against Levi, the US State Department said Levi regularly led groups of settlers from the Meitarim Farm outpost who assaulted Palestinian and Bedouin civilians, threatened them with additional violence if they did not leave their homes, burned their fields, and destroyed their property.
Levi has denied the allegations, saying in a statement the sanctions were the result of “appeals by the anarchist, anti-Zionist, Jew-hating left to [US President Joe] Biden” and that the claims against him were “tall tales.”
Three other Israeli settlers were sanctioned by Washington on Thursday.
