Netanyahu protested to Biden about the new American sanctions against settler violence - voila! news. Netanyahu told the President that the White House knows that Israel has led to a decrease in the number of attacks by settlers against Palestinians.

Minister Dermer prepared a list of questions on which Israel would like clarification on the matter. Netanyahu's previously unpublished complaint to Biden is another sign that, after a relatively mild initial reaction, the Israeli government has internalized the potentially unprecedented consequences of the presidential order.
