British sanctions ‘meter’ from Israel’s settlement movement Daniella Weiss

The British Government has announced sanctions against Daniella Weiss, an extreme right-wing Israeli settler who is known as the “meter” of the Settler movement.

Foreign secretary David Lammy said that the move “shows our determination to call extremist settlers to account while Palestinian communities suffer violence and intimidation”.

Weiss, 79, is the leader of a radical settlement organization called Nachala – or Homeland – that is also punished.

For decades, Weiss has been prominently present in the founding of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, occupied by Israel, on the country caught by Israel in the Middle East War of 1967.

In the sanction she was described that she had been involved in “threatening, committing, promoting and supporting, acts of aggression and violence against Palestinian individuals”.

A spokesperson for an Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the sanctions – who also focus on two other settlers, two illegal settlers and two organizations – as “unjustified and regrettable”.

Weiss was recently seen in the documentary “The Settlers” by Louis Theroux – and has been active in the movement to rebuild settlements in Gaza.

Speaking to BBC News last year, She said, “Gaza Arabs will not stay in the Gaza Strip. Who will stay? Jews.”

“The world is wide,” she added. “Africa is great. Canada is great. The world will absorb the people of Gaza. How we do it? We encourage it. Palestinians in Gaza, the good ones, will be switched on. I don’t say, I say on because they want to go.”

The VK also announced sanctions on two other settlers – Zohar Sabah and Harel David Libi, as well as the farm of the Buitenposten Coco and the farm of Neria, and the organization Libi Construction and Infrastructure Ltd.

Outdoor posts have been built settlements without official Israeli authorization.

“The Israeli government has the responsibility to intervene and to put these aggressive actions. Their consistent failure to act is Palestinian communities and the two -state solution,” Mr Lammy added.

Moreover, the British government has announced that freedom negotiations with Israel would take immediate effect and says: “It is not possible to promote discussions” with “a Netanyahu government that pursues a coarse policy on the West Bank and Gaza”.

A spokesperson for an Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs replied: “If the British government, because of anti-Israeli obsession and domestic political considerations, is willing to damage the British economy-that is its own privilege.”

The move follows a highly formulated joint status of the leaders of the UK, France and Canada on Monday cried the Israeli government To “stop his military operations” and “immediately allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza”.

Israel has said that it will allow a “basic amount” in Gaza, ending a blockade of 11 weeks of the territory, which said it was aimed at putting Hamas under pressure to release remaining hostages.

But Aid Chief Tom Fletcher from the United Nations said that the amount of help was a “drop in the ocean of what is urgently needed”.
