WASHINGTON, November, 18, 2024 (WAFA) – The US Treasury Department said on Monday it will impose 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 civilians in the occupied West Bank.

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

The statement stated 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 colonies and colonial outposts in the West Bank.

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

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