A second settler recently sanctioned by the US for alleged acts of violence in the West Bank has had his Israeli bank account frozen, the Israel Hayom daily reports.
David Chai Chasdai’s account at Bank Hadoar has been frozen.
The report comes a day after Bank Leumi froze the account of Yinon Levi, telling him the move was in compliance with the sanctions that determine that access to American financial systems or software by sanctioned individuals is a criminal offense.
The move by Bank Hadoar, which is run by the Israel Post, is notable because it it is a state-owned bank.
The US last week sanctioned four settlers.
According to the US, Chasdai allegedly initiated and led a rampage in the northern West Bank village of Huwara last year that resulted in the death of one of the Palestinian residents.
Bank Hapoalim has also indicated that it plans to freeze the accounts of two other settlers.
