UK sanctions prominent Israeli settlers, including Daniella Weiss

The United Kingdom announced it would sanction several prominent Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, including veteran settler activist and head of the Nachala movement Daniella Weiss.

The new sanctions also target Eliav Libi and Zohar Sabah, as well as two illegal settler outposts and two organisations "supporting violence against Palestinian communities in the West Bank."

"These individuals and entities are now subject to measures including 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 press release read.
