U.S. Imposes Sanctions on West Bank Settlements and Individuals for Violence Against Palestinians

The Biden administration targets two settlements and three Israelis in a move to promote peace and stability in the West Bank.

The Biden administration has issued sanctions on two West Bank settlements and three Israeli citizens for acts of violence against Palestinians.
This marks the first time the U.S. has placed economic restrictions on entire Israeli outposts in the Palestinian territory.
The sanctioned individuals are linked to violence and attempts to expel Palestinians from their land.
The sanctions aim to block access to U.S. property or assets and prohibit financial institutions from working with those targeted.
The move is part of broader efforts to promote peace, security, and stability in the West Bank and support a two-state solution.
