Biden sanctions Israeli settlers over West Bank violence
The US president sanctions four Israeli settlers accused of attacking Palestinians.
He signed an executive order on Thursday, saying violence had reached "intolerable levels".
The sanctions will block the individuals from accessing all US property and other assets.
Violence in the West Bank has spiked since Hamas's 7 October attack on Israel.

Glad to see he's starting to feel the pressure! That aside, wake me up when he sanctions Israel, which not-so-subtly supports these settlers.
He doesn't even need to sanction them. Stop sending them weapons.
Edit: I mean, I guess sanctions would be nice too, but stopping the weapons transfers should be the bare minimum.
That too 👆
That's gonna be a lot of pressure huh? They banned...four dudes. I'm not even joking, the ban is for FOUR guys.
Doing literally anything at all is a divergence from previous policy. How do you explain it?
Cuz it looks to me like Biden trying to throw his electoral base a bone so he doesn't lose.
