Nearly 90 lawmakers urged President Biden to sanction Israeli ministers for encouraging violence against Palestinians, emphasizing the urgent need for action to protect civilians.
The U.S. has imposed sanctions on some Israeli groups for extremist actions but remains hesitant to sanction elected officials, reflecting a delicate diplomatic balance.
The letter signed by 88 lawmakers was driven by concerns over the ministers' statements and actions which they believe promote violence and undermine security.
Legislators argue that further sanctions are necessary to address the ongoing violence and undermining of Palestinian safety in the context of Israeli policy.
