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Donald Trump rescinded sanctions imposed by the Biden administration on Israeli settler groups and individuals accused of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.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

    Was this election so unimportant that non-voters and 3rd party voters couldn’t be bothered to cast their vote in concert with those that would stand in the way of a dictator?

    There’s FAR more at risk than a genocide. Take a look around for once.

      You are talking about people who voted loyal to Democrats for decades, donated and campaigned.

      The democratic party took their votes for granted and wasn’t even willing to talk to them.
