The American administration under the presidency of Joe Biden will announce today sanctions against settlers who attacked Palestinians. As a result of the sanctions, they will no longer be able to enter the United States, as journalist Barak Ravid published in Walla.
According to the publication, the Americans will also impose sanctions on a number of Palestinians who were involved in attacks on Israelis in Judea and Samaria. According to senior American officials. The move shows that the administration is concerned about an increase in friction between Israelis and Palestinians and believes that the government in Israel is not doing enough to prevent these frictions.
The names of the settlers who will be sanctioned and blacklisted will not be published, this is to increase deterrence among the settlers. It should be noted that this is the first time that sanctions of this type have been imposed on the residents of Judea and Samaria since the term of President Clinton. The US State Department refused to comment on the Walla publication.
It was also announced that President Herzog gave the White House and the Foreign Ministry a document detailing the attacks on Palestinians and the steps Israel is taking to prevent them. The document claims that the number of attacks has decreased in recent weeks, but according to the Americans, the numbers are higher than the period preceding the massacre on October 7.
