Backgrounder – Canada imposes fourth round of sanctions on facilitators of extremist settler violence against civilians in the West Bank


The Regulations Amending the Special Economic Measures (Extremist Settler Violence) Regulations designate two (2) officials of the State of Israel. There are reasonable grounds to believe that these individuals have engaged in activities that undermine the peace and security of the State of Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories by directly facilitating, supporting, providing funding for or contributing to the use of violence by Israeli extremist settlers against Palestinian civilians or their property in the West Bank.

Canadian measures

Persons (individuals and entities) in Canada or Canadians outside Canada are thereby prohibited from dealing in the property of, entering into transactions with, providing services to, transferring property to, or otherwise making goods available to these listed individuals. These measures will also render these individuals inadmissible to Canada under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. Under the Special Economic Measures (Extremist Settler Violence) Regulation, a listed person may apply to the Minister of Foreign Affairs to have their name removed from the Schedule of designated persons. The Minister must determine whether there are reasonable grounds to make a recommendation to the Governor in Council for removal.

The specific prohibitions are set out in the Special Economic Measures (Extremist Settler Violence) Regulations.

The names of the individuals added to the Schedule of these regulations are the following:
