The announcement does not attribute the reasons why these entities have been sanctioned. However, these targeted sanctions add to the growing list since February 1st, 2024 when the Biden Administration announced it would be targeting entities that contribute to violence in the West Bank. State Department spokesperson Miller made this announcement at the beginning of the initiative:
“Earlier today, the President issued a new executive order establishing U.S. authority to impose financial sanctions against foreign persons engaged in actions that threaten the peace, security, or stability of the West Bank. Under the authority granted by that order, the State Department is today imposing financial sanctions on four Israeli nationals for their destabilizing acts in the West Bank.”
