Washington intends to impose sanctions on Israeli soldiers in the West Bank. Israel takes the Biden administration's threats seriously, as the government prepares for the possibility of expanding sanctions to include army officials, members of the Knesset, and ministers.

Settlers' attacks, protected by the Israeli army, against Palestinians have increased since October 7, coinciding with the occupation launching a campaign of arrests and raids in various West Bank cities. It is noteworthy that last December, the United States began imposing a ban on granting entry visas to people involved in violence.
