🚨 The US has imposed sanctions on the Israeli settler organisation 'Amana'. It's the most significant action against settlers in the West Bank since the start of the Gaza war - a move that will send shockwaves throughout the settler movement 🧵
Simon Cox retweeted
Settlers are "rapidly seizing West Bank land." Beyond Israel's authorized (though still illegal) settlements, "there are currently at least 196" unauthorized outposts "across the West Bank, and 29 were set up last year - more than in any previous year." bbc.com/news/articles/c207j6…

For more than six months, BBC Eye has been investigating extremist settlers establishing a new type of illegal settlement known as a “herding outpost”.

Former hostage Hagar Brodetz, who was taken with her three children, aged between four and 10:
"It was forbidden to cry or to laugh or to talk loudly... you can't teach a 4-year-old child to cry silently... everything that you have created to protect your children disappears... the children are hungry, they have one pitta per day, I don't wish it on any mother to have to beg to give your children something to eat"
