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Donald Trump rescinded sanctions imposed by the Biden administration on Israeli settler groups and individuals accused of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.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.
That would be nice. But one party’s voters think that Arabs deserve no quarter. The other party’s voters are somewhat split and nuanced on the issue. So if you want only zero funding for Israel you’re going to get the party who believes in no mercy, kill all Muslims, and annex all of Palestinian lands yesterday.
