US President Joe Biden imposes sanctions on Israeli settlers. Financial sanctions and visa restrictions were immediately imposed on four people.
According to the order, the four people were involved in acts of violence and threats against Palestinians. Violence against Palestinians in the West Bank has intensified since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war. The aim of the sanctions is to prevent the four settlers from using the US financial system. American citizens should also be prevented from doing business with them, according to the US President. "The attacks also undermine Israel's security and have the potential to lead to broader regional destabilization," said Biden.
