The Biden administration imposed sanctions on two Israeli outposts and three settlers it accused of undermining stability in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, and appealed to Israel to do more to prevent settler violence that Washington says is an obstacle to Israeli-Palestinian peace.

The State Department said the outposts known as Moshe's Farm and Zvi's Farm had been bases for violence against Palestinians.
