The US has sanctioned a far-right Israeli activist who, Israeli media report, is close to controversial far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. | |
The state department designated Ben-Zion Gopstein, the founder and leader of Lehava, which opposes assimilation with non-Jews. | |
The US state department says that under Gopstein’s leadership, "Lehava and its members have been involved in acts or threats of violence against Palestinians, often targeting sensitive or volatile areas". | |
Gopstein was banned in 2019 from standing as a candidate for Ben Gvir's Otzma Yehudit party and in January was convicted of incitement to racism. | |
