Expanding Sanctions on Israeli Settlers: A Necessary Step

The recent executive order issued by the President, imposing sanctions on four Israeli settlers involved in violent acts against Palestinians, is a commendable step. However, the severity of the situation necessitates more comprehensive measures. The violence has resulted in numerous deaths and displacement of Palestinians, indicating a broader issue than the actions of these four individuals. Therefore, it is crucial to expand the scope of sanctions to include more settlers involved in such acts. This would send a stronger message about the U.S.'s stance against violence and displacement, and could potentially deter future acts of aggression. The groundwork for such an order has already been laid, making it a feasible and necessary action.
