Zitat:U.S. Prepared to Issue Visa Bans on Israeli 'Extremists' Attacking Palestinians in West Bank, Biden Says
The move, which President Biden revealed in a Washington Post op-ed, is the most significant punitive measure taken by his administration toward Israel since assuming power
"As we strive for peace, Gaza and the West Bank should be reunited under a single governance structure, ultimately under a revitalized Palestinian Authority, as we all work toward a two-state solution," Biden wrote in the Washington Post.
"I have been emphatic with Israel’s leaders that extremist violence against Palestinians in the West Bank must stop and that those committing the violence must be held accountable. The United States is prepared to take our own steps, including issuing visa bans against extremists attacking civilians in the West Bank," he added.
Biden detailed basic principles on how to move forward from this war toward a two-state solution, beginning with preventing Gaza from being a platform for terrorism while preventing forced displacement, blockade, reduction in territory or reoccupation. He further called upon an international commitment to creating "interim security measures... and reconstruction mechanism to sustainably meet Gaza's long-term needs."
