US sanctions Israeli settler group Amana for supporting violence and illegal West Bank settlements.

The Biden administration has imposed sanctions on the Israeli settler group Amana and its subsidiary Binyanei Bar Amana, accusing them of supporting violence and expanding illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank. The sanctions block U.S. transactions with these entities and freeze their U.S. assets. The UK and Canada have also sanctioned Amana. This move comes amid rising settler attacks on Palestinians, and it targets Amana's role in building unauthorized settlements. Most countries consider these settlements illegal under international law.
