April 19, 2024- Americans for Peace Now (APN) applauds the Biden administration’s announcement of a third
round of sanctions addressing extremist settler violence. This latest round of sanctions, which predominantly
targets crowdfunding campaigns for violent extremist settlers, marks a significant advancement in efforts to
confront and deter settler violence in the West Bank.
The decision to impose sanctions on entities facilitating fundraising campaigns for individuals like Yinon
Levi and David Chai Chasdai, known for their involvement in violent acts against Palestinian civilians, sends a
clear message that the United States is committed to disrupting the financial networks that sustain and enable
extremist activities.
Hadar Susskind, President and CEO of Americans for Peace Now, remarked, “These sanctions demonstrate
President Biden’s commitment to action against the epidemic of ongoing violence by extremist settlers. By targeting
not only individual perpetrators but also those who provide financial support to fuel their violence, the United
States is taking meaningful steps to undermine the systems that support settler violence.”
