US President Joe Biden
US President Joe Biden has approved sanctions on four Israeli settlers accused of attacking Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
Mr. Biden signed a broad executive order, saying violence in the West Bank had reached intolerable levels.
The sanctions block the individuals from accessing all US property, assets and the American financial system.
Violence in the West Bank has spiked since Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on Israel on October 7.
According to the UN some 370 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since October 7 with the majority being killed by Israeli forces but at least eight of them have been killed by Israeli settlers.
