The United States has imposed sanctions on three Israeli settlers and two illegal outposts implicated in West Bank violence, the US Treasury Department’s website shows.

This is the second round of penalties, after four Israeli extremists were sanctioned last month.

The two sanctioned outposts are Moshe’s Farm, also known as Tirza Valley outpost, which was established in January 2021; and Zvi’s Farm, near the Halamish settlement.

The three settlers sanctioned are Moshe Sharvit, who runs the former outpost, Zvi Bar Yosef, who runs the latter outpost, and Neriya Ben Pazi, from the Rimonim Farm in the West Bank.

The Treasury update does not include information regarding the violence they’ve been implicated in, which are likely be revealed in a subsequent statement from the State Department.
