President Joe Biden directed top officials to prepare visa bans and sanctions for extremist Israeli settlers attacking and displacing Palestinians in the West Bank, according to an internal document read to POLITICO.

The Cabinet memo, sent to senior aides like Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Friday, orders their agencies “to develop policy options for expeditious action against those responsible for the conduct of violence in the West Bank.”

A senior U.S. official read sections of the memo to POLITICO on Saturday evening shortly after Biden published an op-ed in The Washington Post revealing his intentions for such a move. “The United States is prepared to take our own steps, including issuing visa bans against extremists attacking civilians in the West Bank,” he wrote in the op-ed.

I asked my brother in law who keeps up with Israeli media this so called negotiation has been going on for a week not sure if it will happen but I agree them doing this they mind as well wave the white flag and let Hamas rebuild cause five days will end up being months

Ya'll know what this means - their definition of "violence" is quite broad. Post something on social media and *whap*, sanctioned. They might not even bother with that, just find out who all the settlers are and blanket sanction them all anyway, dare them to appeal it.

Well it is the hamas butt kissing Washingtin Poo, but if true, you are right. A so called 5 day pause, policed by who?, Will become permanent. Israel will say ‘we exacted a heavy price blah blah blah,” hamas, Iran abd hezbollah will jump for joy and know Israel can’t beat them.

Very ridiculous!

My thoughts exactly.

Most of the tunnel infrastructure will be left and not destroyed. Hamas will lick some wounds and be straight at it again. Short term relief for hostage families, but the long term end of Israel. Why bother defending a country in the market place of opinion if they simply have a death wish.

How many decades does it take for them to be able to respond
to non-stop missile attacks? Evidently one isn’t enough.

These people that trash Israel, should be condemned to live
on the border of Gaza and and the West Bank.

Give it a go you big mouth wankers!

Judea and Samaria were talked about, in the Bible.
Jews have been there for 3,000 years.
Just, who is the interloper?

Wacky Leftist Liberals - the overwhelming majority

[SaveFerris]

Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama may not be the Antichrist but he certainly does a fine impersonation of him

“43” shoulda been “45”...
