The US president sanctions four Israeli settlers accused of attacking Palestinians.

He signed an executive order on Thursday, saying violence had reached “intolerable levels”.

The sanctions will block the individuals from accessing all US property and other assets.

Violence in the West Bank has spiked since Hamas’s 7 October attack on Israel.

    I absolutely don’t think any of these propositions are outlandish or even remotely insulting.

    When you look at it from the perspective of the Palestinians who want their own country with the sovereignty this entails, it absolutely is insulting. With those limitations they would be little more than a puppet state of Israel. Not only another state but one they have serious grievances and a bloody history with. There’s no way they could accept this. Israel knew this very well!
