The White House has announced a new executive order aimed at right-wing Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, where attacks on Palestinians that aim to displace them from their land have reached record highs.
“This (executive order) will allow the United States to issue financial sanctions against those directing or participating in certain actions, including acts or threats of violence against civilians, intimidating civilians to cause them to leave their homes, destroying or seizing property, or engaging in terrorist activity in the West Bank,” a press release from the White House reads.
The statement adds that the State Department will announce a set of initial designations on Thursday. The order comes as the Biden administration faces growing pressure to curb its firm support for Israel’s devastating campaign in Gaza, which has killed more than 27,000 people.
