For example, Amana provided a loan to Israeli settler Isaschar Manne, and served as a partner in the formation of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MeitarimFarm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MeitarimFarm</span></a>. The U.S. Department of State sanctioned Isaschar Manne and Meitarim Farm on July 11, 2024 pursuant to E.O. 14115. The settlers and farms that Amana supports play a key role in developing settlements in the West Bank, from which in turn settlers commit violence. More broadly, Amana strategically uses farming outposts, which it supports through financing, loans, and building infrastructure, to expand settlements and seize land. </p><p>"OFAC today is also sanctioning Amana’s subsidiary, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BinyaneiBarAmana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BinyaneiBarAmana</span></a> Ltd (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BBA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BBA</span></a>).

Gertler even put his private plane at Cohen's disposal for his trips to the African country.
