Summary

Donald Trump rescinded sanctions imposed by the Biden administration on Israeli settler groups and individuals accused of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.

The sanctions, established under Executive Order 14115 in 2024, targeted those “undermining peace, security, and stability” and froze U.S. assets of sanctioned individuals.

This marks a reversal of Biden’s policy aimed at curbing settler violence and supporting a two-state solution.

Trump’s decision aligns with his previous support for Israeli settlements, which most countries consider illegal under international law.

      pretty much anyone outside the mainland US.

      But also i find stopping a genocide does matter more than ending much smaller discriminations. Ending those smaller ones is important too, but if someone deems ending their smaller discrimination as more important than stopping a genocide, it seems to come from a place of egoism and supremacism, rather than an ethical conviction for the value of human life and mutual respect.
