Biden Issues Order Sanctioning Israeli Settlers Who Committed Violence in Occupied West Bank

HeadlineFeb 02, 2024

President Biden signed an executive order Thursday imposing new sanctions on Israeli settlers involved in violent attacks against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. At least eight Palestinians, including one child, have been killed, and over 100 injured, in some 500 settler attacks since October 7. The executive order for now targets just four settlers but could be used against others in the future, including Israeli politicians. Biden officials reportedly considered adding ultranationalist cabinet ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich to the list but decided against it.
