Neria Ben Pazi has established four of the most violent outposts in the West Bank in 2019. 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.

On 9 December 2019, the Council welcomed the launch by the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of preparatory work to establish a horizontal EU sanctions regime against serious human rights violations and abuses. On 17 November 2020, the Council approved conclusions on the EU Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy 2020-2024, which set out the EU’s level of ambition and priorities in this field in its relations with all third countries. On 7 December 2020, the Council adopted the EU Global Human Rights Sanctions Regime. The regime enables the EU to target individuals, entities and bodies – including state and non-state actors – responsible for, involved in or associated with serious human rights violations and abuses worldwide, no matter where they occurred. It applies to acts such as genocide, crimes against humanity and other serious human rights violations or abuses. Other human rights violations or abuses can also fall under the scope of this sanctions regime, if they are widespread, systematic or otherwise of serious concern as regards the objectives of the EU common foreign and security policy. The restrictive measures consist of travel bans applying to individuals, and freezing of funds applying to both individuals and entities. In addition, EU persons and entities will be prohibited from making funds available to those listed, either directly or indirectly. Derogations to the restrictive measures are possible, including the delivery of humanitarian aid.
