The US Treasury Department announced today, Monday, the imposition of sanctions on the Israeli organization "Amana" and its subsidiary "Binyanei Bar Amana" on the background of financing and supporting colonial activities, and individuals involved in violence against Palestinian citizens in the occupied West Bank.

The ministry added in a statement that "Amana", which works in the field of building and developing settlements, is "expanding the construction of settlements in a way that threatens peace and stability in the region."

The statement said that the US sanctions target the movement and its company, Binyanei Bar Amana, in the United States, which works in the field of building and developing settlements and colonial outposts in the West Bank.

Under today’s sanctions, the organization and its subsidiary’s assets in the United States are frozen, and any financial transactions with them by U.S. individuals or institutions are prohibited.

The US Treasury highlighted that "the Israeli organization uses its financial support and infrastructure to expand settlements and confiscate Palestinian lands in the West Bank."
