Summary

Donald Trump rescinded sanctions imposed by the Biden administration on Israeli settler groups and individuals accused of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.

The sanctions, established under Executive Order 14115 in 2024, targeted those “undermining peace, security, and stability” and froze U.S. assets of sanctioned individuals.

This marks a reversal of Biden’s policy aimed at curbing settler violence and supporting a two-state solution.

Trump’s decision aligns with his previous support for Israeli settlements, which most countries consider illegal under international law.

      Whether it was a reference to parliament, I don’t know. Politicians often leave stuff ambiguous so they can abuse the symbolism. After all, nobody wants to live in a swamp. There’s also an overlapping period between far right Germans and Nazis. Here’s a poster that calls to get out of the swamp: “Heraus aus dem Sumpf”

      I mostly posted the article because of the included facts and resemblances. Which I think is most important here.
