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.
Huh??? How does Israel lose money if there was peace??? I am curious to hear your opinion on what kind of revenues makes up Israel’s GDP and where instability of the Middle East fits into that.
The money the US sends?
So the usual $5B in aid that Israel gets. You know Israels GDP was close to $600B last year right?
They had a budget surplus of less than $5b least year, so that money still makes a difference. Not sure if it’s just the usual $5b either right now, I didn’t go digging hard for it, but the data I saw for for much aid the US sends Israel was from before Oct.
I think you have a misunderstanding on how these funds work
US government gives $5b to various US weapons manufacturers who then send weapons to Israel, who then has weapons without needing to spend their own budget money on them, saving $5b.
What do they need this funding for again? Would they need this if there was peace?
