"Biden's Sanctions on Israelis in West Bank: Political Maneuver or Peacekeeping?"

President Biden imposed sanctions on four Israeli settlers for targeting Palestinians in the West Bank, sparking anger among supporters of Israel. The move was criticized as "pure politics" by former U.S. ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, who accused Biden of singling out Israelis while Palestinian violence flourishes. The sanctions coincide with Biden's campaign visit to Michigan, home to a large Arab-American community. The executive order cited extremist settler violence as a threat to peace and stability in the region, but critics argue that Palestinian Authority members should also be sanctioned for inciting violence.
