US sanctions Israeli group for blocking Gaza aid convoys

ai generated text

The United States has imposed sanctions on an Israeli group known as Tzav 9, which has been blockading a key crossing point at the start of the year. The group claims that the sanctions are "shocking" and go against American and liberal values. According to the US Embassy statement, repeated by Tzav 9, the group is accused of looting and setting fire to aid trucks. Israel's responsibility in protecting humanitarian trucks heading to Gaza has also been highlighted.

    1. We will continue to use all tools at our disposal to promote accountability for those who attempt or undertake such heinous acts, and we expect and urge that Israeli authorities do the same.

    1. The US should not continue to ignore Israeli government involvement in these crimes and should apply sanctions to Ben-Gvir next.
    2. Recent revelations that Israeli Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir ordered police to stand down and allow Tzav 9 to block humanitarian aid convoys show how this despicable strategy of starvation is coordinated from young settler activists all the way up to the highest levels of the Israeli government.

    1. You've got this person whose stated goal is for essentially Israel to take over the entire West Bank.
    2. In my view, Smotrich should be subject to sanctions under this EO.

    1. They also have damaged aid trucks and dumped life-saving humanitarian aid on to the road.
    2. For months, individuals from Tzav 9 have repeatedly sought to thwart the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, including by blockading roads, sometimes violently.
