The United States lifted all sanctions against Zionists and Zionist institutions.
Citing Al Jazeera, the Hebrew-language newspaper Israel Hayom reported that the US Treasury Department has lifted all previous sanctions against Zionists and Zionist institutions.
The report said that the US move came after President Donald Trump lifted sanctions against Zionist settlers in the West Bank.
The sanctions against the Zionist settlers were imposed because of their crimes against West Bank residents.
Biden’s actions paved the way for the US Departments of State and the Treasury to sanction several far-right individuals and groups accused of perpetrating violence against Palestinians in the West Bank, which Israel has occupied since 1967 despite international law, freezing their US assets and barring US bodies and individuals from commercial relationships with them.
As much of the world’s attention has focused on the war in Gaza, growing violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank and land grabs in the occupied territory have raised concerns among some of Israel’s Western allies.
On Monday and Tuesday, settlers set vehicles and properties on fire under the protection of Israeli soldiers. At least 21 Palestinians were reported to have been injured.
