He is one of the main perpetrators of the forced displacement of the Bedouin community of Wadi Seeq near Ramallah. Since 2021, Neria Ben Pazi has been accused of repeatedly attacking Palestinians in Wadi Seeq and in Deir Jarir and his actions have been likened to torture. On 12 October 2023, he participated in a violent attack in Wadi Seeq, where Palestinians were severely beaten, handcuffed and photographed in their underwear. Settlers urinated on them and extinguished cigarettes on them. He is therefore responsible for serious human rights violations or abuses against Palestinians, including torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, which is also of serious concern with regard to the objectives of the common foreign and security policy as set out in Article 21 of the Treaty on European Union. 19.4.2024 107. Yinon LEVI DOB: 12.12.1992 Nationality: Israeli Gender: male ID number: 203807276 Yinon Levi has taken part in multiple violent acts against neighbouring villages from his residence in the Mitarim farm illegal outpost. This notably includes storming and damaging houses of Palestinian families, including in the presence of women and children, as well as having dogs set on Palestinian shepherds to physically attack them while letting his herd graze on their privately owned lands. He is therefore responsible for serious and widespread human rights violations or abuses targeted at the Palestinians’ right to physical and mental integrity, right to property and right to private and family life, which are also of serious concern as regards the objectives of the common foreign and security policy set out in Article 21 of the Treaty on European Union. 19.4.2024 108.

The Hilltop Youth settles on hilltops in the West Bank and engages in settler violence through so-called “price tag attacks”. The settler violence, including physical and psychosocial harassment, beatings, murder and demolition of property, against Palestinians is of a systematic nature. Meir Ettinger encourages and incites attacks and participates in intimidation to force Palestinians off their lands. He has contributed to the establishment of illegal settlements and outposts on Palestinian lands across the West Bank, employing and condoning tactics of intimidation, harassment and violence. He was involved in a deadly arson attack in 2015, already being considered part of the Hilltop Youth, on a Palestinian West Bank home that killed two parents and their 18-month-old boy. Therefore, Meir Ettinger is responsible for serious human rights violations or abuses, including torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, as well as violations or abuses of the right to property and the right to private and family life of Palestinians in the West Bank and for supporting and encouraging such acts. Those abuses and violations are also of serious concern with regard to the objectives of the common foreign and security policy as set out in Article 21 of the Treaty on European Union. 19.4.2024 109.

The Hilltop Youth engages in settler violence through so-called “price tag attacks”. This settler violence, including physical and psychosocial harassment, beatings, murder and demolition of property, against Palestinians is of a systematic nature. Elisha Yered encourages such acts and participates in them. He regularly incites violence against Palestinians in the West Bank including by distributing messages such as to “wipe out” a Palestinian village. He personally harassed a Palestinian family, using intimidating and threatening language to impede their freedom of movement on their own land and is involved in the destruction of property of Palestinians in the West Bank. Elisha Yered was part of a group of armed settlers that on 4 August 2023 advanced from the direction of the illegal outpost of Oz Zion to the Palestinian village of Burqa near Ramallah. The settlers fired bullets at the Palestinians, which led to the death of the 19-year old Palestinian Qusai Jammal Mi’tan and wounded several other Palestinians. Therefore, Elisha Yered is responsible for serious human rights violations or abuses, including torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, as well as violations or abuses of the right to property and the right to private and family life of Palestinians in the West Bank and for supporting and encouraging such acts, and is responsible for the advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred which constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence. Those violations or abuses are also of serious concern with regard to the objectives of the common foreign and security policy as set out in Article 21 of the Treaty on European Union. 19.4.2024’; (2) the following entries are added to the list of natural and legal persons, entities and bodies under heading B ‘Legal persons, entities and bodies’: Names (Transliteration into Latin script) Names Identifying information Reasons for listing Date of listing ‘27.
