Following his inauguration, President Trump lifted sanctions imposed on over 30 Israeli settler groups by the Biden administration, a move celebrated by the Israeli far-right. This decision occurs amidst rising settler violence in the West Bank and ongoing tensions following a recent escalation in conflict in Gaza. Settler activities, often deemed illegal, are seen as a barrier to establishing a viable Palestinian state, as they involve seizing Palestinian land. The sanctions had restricted these groups from accessing US assets and financial systems, prompting concerns about the implications for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
Trump's lifting of sanctions on Israeli settler groups represents a significant shift in U.S. policy, favoring far-right elements in Israel amidst soaring violence against Palestinians.
This action was celebrated by the Israeli far-right, highlighting the growing tensions within the region as such moves undermine peace efforts and exacerbate existing conflicts.
