New Lawsuit Aims To Hold Blinken, Yellen Accountable for Biden’s Sanctions on Jewish-Americans in Judea and Samaria
The plaintiffs claim that ‘only Jewish individuals are at risk of being sanctioned.’
The filing of a federal civil complaint at the District of Columbia by two American-Israeli citizens living in Judea and Samaria sanctioned by President Biden could signal a looming constitutional clash. It could be, though, that their most expeditious prayer for relief is an executive reversal from President-elect Trump.
The complaint on behalf of Levi Yitzchak Pilant and Issachar Manne — who are represented by, among other attorneys, Mark Goldfeder of the National Jewish Advocacy Center — names as defendants Secretaries Blinken and Yellen as well as the director of the Office of Foreign Assets Control, Lisa Palluconi. It accuses those officials — in their official capacities — of violating the due process rights of Messrs. Pliant and Manne. The plaintiffs also allege violations of the Administrative Procedures Act.
