Britain today sanctioned organisations involved in the construction of illegal Israeli settler outposts in the occupied West Bank, Reuters reported a government update showing.
The sanctions target seven settler outposts or organisations and were taken under Britain’s global human rights sanctions regime, the notice showed.
Those sanctioned included the AMANA entity, which Britain said was “involved in the construction of illegal settler outposts and providing funding and other economic resources for Israeli settlers involved in threatening and perpetrating acts of aggression and violence against Palestinian communities in the West Bank.”
All settler outposts are illegal under international and Israeli laws.
