Following an incident where suspected Jewish settlers attacked Palestinian villages in the West Bank, President Donald Trump has reversed the Biden administration's sanctions against Israelis accused of violence in the territory. The move is seen as a shift towards a more pro-Israel stance, signaling potential tolerance for Israel's settlement expansion and violence against Palestinians.
The sanctions, initially imposed to punish radical settlers, were praised by settler leaders upon Trump's decision to cancel them. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich lauded the move, calling the sanctions a foreign intervention and commending Trump's unwavering support for Israel.
