The US has imposed sanctions on two entities that it said helped raise tens of thousands of dollars for two violent extremists in the West Bank.
One of the entities, Mount Hebron Fund, launched an online fundraising campaign that raised $140,000 for settler Yinon Levi.
Levi had led a group of settlers that assaulted Palestinian and Bedouin civilians, burned their fields and destroyed their property.
The second entity, Shlom Asiraich, raised $31,000 on a crowdfunding website for David Chai Chasdai.
The United States says Chasdai initiated and led a riot that included setting vehicles and buildings on fire and causing damage to property in Huwara, resulting in the death of a Palestinian civilian.
Washington previously sanctioned five settlers and two unauthorised outposts in the West Bank in two rounds of sanctions.
“Such acts by these organisations undermine the peace, security, and stability of the West Bank. We will continue to use our tools to hold those responsible accountable,” deputy secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo said.
