Three senior Democratic senators are calling for the sanctioning of Amana, the development arm of the settler movement, due to its establishment of settlements and illegal outposts in the West Bank. Amana has been considered for previous rounds of sanctions and sanctioning it would have significant implications on the settler movement. The senators have written a letter to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen urging them to consider sanctions against Amana and other perpetrators and supporters.
