The Biden administration mistakenly sanctioned two US citizens who are also Israeli settlers, according to two US officials. The individuals were designated under an executive order aimed at curbing settler violence in the West Bank, but their US citizenship should have made them ineligible for targeting. The officials admitted that the vetting process failed to identify the pair as US citizens. The Treasury Department and State Department have not commented on the matter. The sanctioned individuals have filed a lawsuit against the US government, claiming that the sanctions violated their constitutional rights.
