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.

    This is more than likely him getting started with reining Israel in. I expect more serious measures to follow soon.

      I expected more serious measures to follow when innocents were burning to death. The white house can be called upon for a lot of things but I think any good in this situation will have to come from Congress.
