The US Treasury Department expanded its sanctions program targeting Israeli settlers on Monday, adding three individuals and multiple organizations to its Specially Designated Nationals list overseen by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. This latest round of sanctions follows a presidential executive order signed by President Joe Biden earlier this year targeting certain Israeli settlers.
The new designations include Shabtay Kushlevsky, affiliated with the Hashomer Yosh organization; Itamar Yehuda Levi, a resident of the Susya settlement connected to the Eyal Hari Yehuda company; and Zohar Saba from the Mevo'ot Yericho settlement.

The Treasury Department's action also encompasses Amana, an organization founded in 1979 by the Settlement Movement of Gush Emunim Central Cooperative Association Ltd, along with its subsidiary companies: Binyanei Bar Amana and Eyal Hari Yehuda.
Under these sanctions, all US-based assets belonging to the designated
individuals and organizations will be frozen. American citizens and
companies will be prohibited from engaging in any business transactions
with them.
