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Donald Trump rescinded sanctions imposed by the Biden administration on Israeli settler groups and individuals accused of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.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

    He’s gone, you don’t have to keep pandering to his fake ass policy that totally wasn’t full send arms to Israel for 15 months. Blinken clocked out as well.

    Not to mention we were all here when these sanctions got announced, rescinded, and then reannounced, in case it wasn’t already clear a few settlers would likely never be traveling to the USA.

      At least it was something. Trump full on recognized the settlements, giving legitimacy and urging Netanyahu to escalate further. You don’t need to pretend like you havent completely fucked over every palestinian by not voting Harris.
