Biden's Actions and Statements on Israel-Palestine Raise Questions

President Joe Biden has instructed top officials to prepare visa bans and sanctions for extremist Israeli settlers who are attacking and displacing Palestinians in the West Bank. The directive aims to show support for Palestinian civilians while defending Israel's retaliation against Hamas. The targets for reprimands are broadly defined and include those who threaten security, intimidate civilians, commit human rights abuses, or obstruct efforts for a two-state solution. The decision follows intense debate within the administration and growing pressure from Biden's party to address settler violence.
