Another step against settler violence in the West Bank:
The American website Politico reports that the President of the United States, Joe Biden, will announce today (Thursday) an administrative order against settlers who engage in violence in the West Bank against the Palestinians who live in the villages in the area. The timing of the announcement of the order is due Apparently and according to the publications in the American media, in view of the increasing pressure on the president in the USA, at a time when he is supporting Israel which is expanding the fighting in Gaza.
Last December, Biden decided on another step against the violent settlers when he decided to limit their entry into the US. Following the harsh step taken by Washington against settler violence in recent decades, the head of the Gush Etzion Regional Council and the chairman of the Yesha Council, Shlomo Na'im, said: "In the name of The 'holy balance', the most powerful power in the world, decides today to throw missiles. While the State of Israel is in the midst of a war on the home, in a war of light against darkness, the US is trying to put on the opposite end of the scales a few individual cases of criminals who took the law into their own hands.

As I recall, the Prime Minister also did not remain liable in view of the statements that condemned the settlers' displays of violence in the settlement. At the cabinet meeting held in December 2023, Netanyahu said: "There are elements here who simply slander the settlers, and this needs to be dealt with.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said and added: "There is no increase in these phenomena, you can see it in the Shin Bet's data as well.
Just running a campaign on this precious public.
If there are cases, they are very isolated."
The "Peace Fighters" movement stated following the report on the administrative order to be signed by the US president:
"We are strengthening the American administration for taking an unequivocal stance against settler violence. While their representatives are sitting in the government, the hill boys have lost all restraint. A government in which the person responsible for the territories is being questioned "Neither do we have expectations for the person in charge of the police. It's good that there has been such a necessary intervention in the matter."
