Biden Administration Intensifies Sanctions on Israeli Settlements
TL;DR Summary
The Biden-Harris administration has imposed new sanctions on Israeli organizations accused of violence against Palestinians, while simultaneously providing $230 million in aid to the Palestinians. This move, seen as a parting shot before President-elect Trump takes office, has been criticized for aligning with anti-Israel sentiments and potentially supporting Hamas. The sanctions target Israeli groups involved in West Bank settlements, and the aid aims to support Palestinian development. Critics argue this sets a precedent for U.S. policy influenced by anti-Israel movements.
