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Donald Trump rescinded sanctions imposed by the Biden administration on Israeli settler groups and individuals accused of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.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

    Moving the goalposts now aren’t we? First of all, I’m not a fan of Trump. I just don’t deepthroat Biden just because he has a “D” next to his name. I just give credit where it’s due - orange man got a ceasefire.

      Lol, moving the goalposts? You’re the one who brought up that Trump’s envoy visited Gaza recently. If you’re implying that this contributed to the ceasefire, then they violated the Logan Act.
