Biden sanctions 4 Israeli settlers for alleged violence against Palestinians and Israeli peace activists The sanctions represent an escalation of the diplomacy and pressure Biden has exerted on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to rein in extremists.
Biden administration says it will ban entry to Israeli settlers and Palestinians who harm ‘peace, security, or stability in the West Bank’ Most of the statement focuses on Biden’s frustration with Israel for ignoring his pleas to rein in extremist settlers.
Israeli military decries ‘terrorism’ by settlers and vows to fight it with ‘all the means that are at our disposal’ The statement constitutes one of the Israeli military’s strongest condemnations of violence against Palestinian civilians.
