US President Joe Biden – facing anger from pro-Palestinian voters over his support for West Jerusalem’s war against Hamas – has issued an executive order seeking to penalize Israeli settlers who perpetrate acts of violence in the West Bank.
Biden signed the order on Thursday, calling for asset freezes, visa restrictions, and other sanctions against foreign nationals accused of attacking or threatening civilians in the Palestinian territory. The US State Department later announced the first set of sanctioned individuals under the initiative, naming four settlers who had been accused of attacking West Bank civilians or Israeli activists.
“Israel must do more to stop violence against civilians in the West Bank and hold accountable those responsible for it,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement. “The United States will continue to take actions to advance the foreign policy objectives of the United States, including the viability of a two-state solution, and is committed to the safety, security, and dignity of Israelis and Palestinians alike.”
