Weiss, 79, is the leader of a radical settler organisation called Nachala - or homeland - which has also been sanctioned. The UK government has announced sanctions on Daniella Weiss, a far-right Israeli settler known as the "godmother" of the settler movement. In the UK sanctions sheet, Weiss was described as having been involved in "threatening, perpetrating, promoting and supporting, acts of aggression and violence against Palestinian individuals". Weiss was recently featured in Louis Theroux's documentary "The Settlers" - and has been active in the movement to rebuild settlements in Gaza. In response to the sanctions, Weiss said hundreds of families "are prepared and ready to implement settlement in Gaza - immediately".
