US President Joe Biden uses one of the world’s largest international stages to call out Israeli settler violence against Palestinians, which has gone largely unchecked in the West Bank.
“As we look ahead, must also address the rise of violence against innocent Palestinians on the West Bank,” Biden says in his speech at the UN General Assembly
His administration began levying sanctions against extremist Israeli individuals and organizations at the beginning of the year and has pledged to continue doing so.
In the same breath, Biden urges “set[ing] the conditions for a better future, including a two-state solution, where Israel enjoys security and peace. full recognition and normalized relations with all its neighbors and where Palestinians live in security, dignity and self-determination in a state of their own.”
