The Biden administration has been sued by two Israeli-American citizens who were sanctioned as part of a regime targeting settlers in the West Bank. The plaintiffs claim that the sanctions violated their constitutional rights to due process and equal protection. The lawsuit also challenges the notion that settlements are a root cause of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The State Department declined to comment on the ongoing litigation. The Biden administration has imposed several rounds of sanctions on Israelis over the past year, targeting individuals and organizations for alleged involvement in violence against or displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank.
