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Donald Trump rescinded sanctions imposed by the Biden administration on Israeli settler groups and individuals accused of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.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.
What a lame response. Treat this situation with the respect it deserves, or get out.
These sanctions were a joke.
It was a handful of people targeted who were never going to leave Israel anyway and won’t be that bothered by not having access to American financial institutions.
Okay what? I’m not sure what exactly you want me to respect here. I’m calling out the “look what not voting caused” circlejerk in the comments.
This is just the beginning. He’s making his position very clear.
Okay, and? Like I said above, save the “told you so” circlejerking for when he actually does something.
