US President Donald Trump rescinded the sanctions imposed by the former Biden administration on Israeli settler groups in the West Bank, the new White House website announced on Monday, following Trump's inauguration.
The website page titled "Initial Rescissons of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions" was published on the site on the day Trump entered office.
Among the items on the lengthy list appears the rescinded Executive Order 14115 issued on February 1, 2024, which authorized the imposition of certain sanctions on Israeli settler groups "on Persons Undermining Peace, Security, and Stability in the West Bank."
Back when the executive order was issued, the official statement that accompanied it began by stating, "I, Joeseph R. Biden Jr., President of the United States of America, find that the situation in the West Bank—in particular high levels of extremist settler violence, forced displacement of people and villages, and property destruction—has reached intolerable levels and constitutes a serious threat to the peace, security, and stability of the West Bank and Gaza, Israel, and the broader Middle East region."
