"Biden's Executive Order Targets Israeli Settler Violence in West Bank"

President Biden issued an executive order targeting Israeli settlers in the West Bank following the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old American citizen last month, with sanctions focusing on visa restrictions for foreign nationals involved in violence and intimidation against Palestinians. The decision comes amid ongoing tensions and violence in the region, with over 300 Palestinians killed by security forces and settlers across the occupied West Bank since the start of the Israel-Hamas war, and 494 recorded settler attacks against Palestinians from October to January. The move has drawn criticism from Israeli officials, while the U.S. has condemned calls for resettlement in Gaza and reiterated the need for accountability for extremist settlers committing violent attacks.
