The escalating violence in the West Bank, particularly the increase in attacks on Palestinians and their property by Israeli settlers, is deeply concerning. This includes the destruction of olive trees and attacks on religious institutions. The legal disparity between Israeli settlers and Palestinians exacerbates the situation, with settlers subject to Israeli civilian penal law and Palestinians to military or local law. The recent decision by the Biden administration to deny visas to settlers involved in violence is commendable. It is crucial to address the issue of US citizens participating in these forcible occupations. Therefore, it is requested that further measures be taken to discourage such actions and hold those involved accountable. This could include stricter regulations and sanctions. The goal is to ensure justice, peace, and security for all parties involved.
