Summary

Donald Trump rescinded sanctions imposed by the Biden administration on Israeli settler groups and individuals accused of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.

The sanctions, established under Executive Order 14115 in 2024, targeted those “undermining peace, security, and stability” and froze U.S. assets of sanctioned individuals.

This marks a reversal of Biden’s policy aimed at curbing settler violence and supporting a two-state solution.

Trump’s decision aligns with his previous support for Israeli settlements, which most countries consider illegal under international law.

    There is something deeply shocking in seeing americans weaponizing genocide, real people suffering and colonization to turn it into some smug commentary about their domestic politics. It seems so hypocritical and fake. Both sides of the american political spectrum competed to do business with the israelis. The israelis themselves, in a statement about the ceasefire, have assured that both Trump and Biden were fully on their side on their “war”.

    Go comment about americans politics somewhere else. Nobody want to see this.

      This article was literally about American politics and how it affected the Israel-Palestine situation.
