The Israeli citizens added to the sanction list were veteran Zionist activist Daniella Weiss, the owner of a construction company and a farmer
The British government sanctioned four Israeli entities and three people on Tuesday for what it said was alleged support for “cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment” of Arabs in Judea and Samaria.
According to London’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, the decision was made after determining that the targeted groups and individuals “supported violence against Palestinians” in the region.
The Israelis will be subjected to “financial restrictions, travel bans and director disqualifications, and will follow 18 other individuals, entities, and companies already sanctioned relating to serious violence against communities in the West Bank,” the British government announced in a statement. (The United Kingdom, like many other countries around the world, refers to Judea and Samaria as “the West Bank.”)
