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Donald Trump rescinded sanctions imposed by the Biden administration on Israeli settler groups and individuals accused of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.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

    Uh… Y’all do realize these “sanctions” meant basically nothing right? Cry about Gaza non-voters when he actually does something (which he will don’t get me wrong, but this is just weak).

      It’s not about the actual move here. It’s about what this signals. It’s a flashing warning sign: Trump does not give a flying fuck about Palestine, and he is willing to do favors for genocidal maniacs on demand.
