President Joe Biden handed down financial sanctions against four Israeli nationals last week.
WEST BANK -- President Joe Biden handed down financial sanctions against four Israeli nationals last week who were allegedly connected to violence against civilians in the West Bank amid the Israel-Hamas war. One of those sanctioned by the Biden administration spoke with ABC News about the claims and rejected the allegations against them.
Yinon Levi spoke alongside his wife, Sapir Levi, on Tuesday in their outpost in the occupied West Bank. They told ABC News they don't understand why he was sanctioned in Biden's executive order.
Levi was accused of inciting violence against Palestinians and burning farmland. He said he has never been involved in an attack and they have not seen any evidence.
"When we first found out about it, we thought it was a joke. Why would Biden care about us?" Yinon Levi told ABC News.
