The Trump administration has lifted sanctions on Israeli settlers in the West Bank, reversing measures implemented by the Biden administration. This decision follows an executive order signed by President Trump on January 20, 2025, which revoked the previous sanctions regime. The U.S. Department of Treasury confirmed that all sanctions against Israeli individuals and entities targeted under Executive Order 14115 have been removed, unblocking all associated properties and interests. The move has raised questions regarding future U.S. policies in the region and has prompted a shift in international relations, including a reevaluation of the Irish government's trade stance towards Israel.
