Nov 14, 2024, 08:11 PM
A group of 88 Democratic members of Congress has called on President Joe Biden to sanction Israeli ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir. The lawmakers argue that Smotrich and Ben-Gvir have played critical roles in driving policies that promote settler violence and weaken the Palestinian Authority, thereby destabilizing the West Bank. Key Democratic leaders are among those urging Biden to take action against the Israeli ultranationalist ministers, citing their responsibility for incentivizing violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank. The call for sanctions has been made before Trump's return.
