Feb. 27 (UPI) -- The U.S. Treasury has lifted sanctions against a former Israeli general that were imposed amid accusations that he supplied weapons to both the South Sudan government and rebels.
U.S. officials levied the penalties against former Israel Defense Forces Major Gen. Israel Ziv in late 2018. Authorities said he cloaked the sales of $150 million worth of weapons to the South Sudanese government by running them through an agricultural company. The sales included rifles, grenade launchers and shoulder-fired rockets.
