On his first day back in office, U.S. President Donald Trump rescinded sanctions imposed by the former Biden administration on far-right Israeli settler groups and individuals accused of violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. The decision reversed Executive Order 14115, signed by Biden on February 1, 2024, which authorized sanctions on persons undermining peace, security, and stability in the West Bank. Trump's move was part of a broader initiative to reverse several policies of the Biden administration, signaling a shift in U.S. foreign policy towards Israel.
