The US Department of State has said that it will impose visa restrictions on Israeli settlers involved in undermining peace, security or stability in the occupied West Bank.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the move on Tuesday, one day after the State Department said that Israel has not taken sufficient steps to address settler attacks that have driven many Palestinians off their land.
President Joe Biden and other senior US officials have warned repeatedly that Israel must act to stop violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank, which has increased since the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel.
Palestinians have described settler violence as one part of a larger Israeli effort to force them from their land.
Al Jazeera’s Patty Culhane has the report from Washington, DC.

Woooooow!! Jewsbekistan ISN’T untouchable after all….
The bitter reality is you have rights if you have money and power. Otherwise, you are left on your own in this so-called “Just World”
america is accomplice to this apartheid and carnage. This ban is a fart…
“Why do they attack us”
I can attack you, but if you attack me, I’ll remind you of the holocaust.
How do they expect Palestinian Authority to stop the violence against their citizens? If they did anything the US would consider it terrorism..
They think they can go back to western society and be fine ?
God please revealed them to the world
US is double standard, on the other side giving Aid to Israel to continue it’s genocide against Palestinians. That’s disgusting
Visa Bans for people who may NOT even visit America, how kind of America…That helps the people of Palestine immensely😣😣😣
Who the hail is reporting those “Israeli extremists” anyway? How can the US identify them?
what a joke
I cannot imagine living with this kind of situation! Hopefully one day Palestinians will be free from this kind of violence! They had suffered enough!
Well, no real action has been taken anyone, except for that temporary ceasefire.
Blinken can really control his own moron crowd, but not their free minds!!! Most of them are already American citizens🤷🏻
israhell
a few dozen being held accountable do I smell a sham??
seriously reconsidering voting for biden again.
And this is the people of israel
Terrorists not settlers
These are mostly Settlers from Murica, they brought their Gun Culture 😀
Reminds me of the Nazis.
settlers are by definition robbers of land can’t believe we still have them in 2023
Now we need to deport those dual israei citizenship piloticians! We don’t need you in america anymore!!
funded by qatar, extremely biased
Imagine someone coming from foreign country a lot of them from Brooklyn and New York have more rights than you in ur country and take kick you out of home
This is state sponsored terrorism.
Symbolic. Only “dozens” and many are US citizens.
Is this a joke? Invoking their visas means nothing to them.
They commit those atrocities because US backs Israel. Israeli government funds settlers.
Hypocrisy
“A state of law…” Says who? If they were a state of law, the Palestinians wouldn’t be going through what is happening. Don’t even talk about Hamas now.
Sick humans sick
The settlers are lower class of Israelis, they won’t go to US. Once again US puts forward a policy towards Israel which has no consequences for Israel.
Visa bans🙄
VISA Ban – WTF is that?
99.9999% don’t of those sadistic scumbags don’t even know what you’re talking about!
The US should have given them bonuses for executing the American mandate so well for these horrendous crimes against Palestinians rather than avoiding to be seen as complicit.
How about lifting all North Korea sanctions and instead ban their VISA’s? Sounds good right?
It’s the Israeli gov’t that commanded the settlers to do violence, so you must ban the israeli gov’t too
Stop genocide in Palestine..
Sons of satan himself those who called themselves Israelians!!
We did nothing, they live in Israel so it really doesn’t matter if they can’t come here.
This channel is funded by terrorists!! Do not believe anything thatbisnposted here¡!
Jewish bot.
There’s a travel ban on the Mexican border too.
Peaceful Israelis spreading peace and love to people who aren’t even in Gaza.
hiring people from other countries to assault palastinians on street on their own land and isreali armies bombardments on civilians houses supported by west and talking about humans rights really
Boycotting USA made products
Dose what these people are doing remind the people of the world of anything in history ?
I swear these Zionist Israelis are demons’ they behave inhumanly ruthless” they going to start ww3 and America will drag nato into if they ain’t careful
now you know how they feel at hand of Hamas attacks
Hamas started this war. Hamas then broke the cease-fire for a second time few days ago. Blame Hamas for all of this. 🇺🇸🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇱🇺🇸🇨🇦🇮🇱
This Visa ban is not punitive because:
1. It is not needed to settlers who move to a foreign country
2. It is not enforceable, no visa applicant has to say wether they are a settler or not.
3. None of settlers are identified nor prosecuted by Israeli gov. No database available to review their visa application.
These guys are real terrorists.
First time ever the USA turns against Israel 😂
This is so disgusting I have no words to say free 🇵🇸
The Jews have become the Nazis, what a shame!
ISRAELI GOVT IS ENCOURAGING THESE SETTLERS, THEY EVEN PROVIDE THEM WITH GUNS. MOST OF THESE SETTLERS ARE AMERICANS.
Why is this acceptable
This is just a drama of killers who support killers …these pad managers are there to lie n make there boses happy n sale war machines to world …what is the agenda of wars …power control land grabbing drug supply n weapons sales …wars are marketing for weapons sales n USA is top saler of it…there is noting truth on there media bits n reality ..all policy is make behind the door to kill outside come n talk about justice ..
Who is the real terrorist this is the people America supports?
The WH always pussyfooting, afraid to upset their masters.
😢 We have to no to this around the to live a better life for what children Children of the fuour parents I want our neighbours. There has to be a stop to it now. We have to notice this as that can say stop😮
😂😂😂😂😂
Dog & pony show
Joke ! It’s lawless state
Visa ban on settlers is a great mockery.
Stop bombordent not sanctions visa
Useless ban, these folks are there to harass those helpless people. Any other country it would have been dealt with. Imagine living in the purge almost daily.
Travel bans are laughable, and of course, “both sides” is just cynical.
US Hypocrisy most of the Occupiers have Dual Citizenship!What BS.
israhell is true toxic people…
good job USA you make big drama in media…everthing happens because you are political…
Miller has no clue that the violence is 200% from the coloniser settlers ?
Wht about stopping US citizens from going to Israhel n attacking palestinians n looting their homes ?
Don’t tell them to stop the settler violence. Tell them to withdraw all settlers and IDF from the occupied territories!
Pulbusin yan ang mga hamas mga nasasakupan ni Satanas sa PANGALAN Ni YAUH-ALLAH ang EL ni Abraham, EL ni Isaac… Sa Pangalan ni Panginoong Ysu/Isa ang Cristo ( Ysu Ha Mashiach ) Amen.
💔
Don’t lose your hope and be patient because Allah is with the patient
Best of luck🇵🇸
وستعینو بالصبر والصلوات🇵🇸
Democrat means war
So the US have given the illegal settlers a little slap on the hand …behave or else! Its pathetic and actually insulting. Settler violence has been going on for decades – look up what the IDF – group BTS has to say about their time in the West Bank – it horrendous – at least the World is now graphically seeing what the Palestinian people have had to endure for years.
Ban to settlers it’s a joke 😂 from USA
They get the green light from the start!
Visa bs is a joke
The police and the army don’t care they get the green light and in the last 8 weeks
They now have army grade weapons what does that tell u
The United States speaks out of diverse, plural, mouths.
What good does that do for the Palestinians, first of all, you ain’t gonna know who’s a settler and who isn’t and 2ndly and far more importantly, when you ban them from going to Europe or U.S. or wherever else, you’re more or less telling them and aiding them to stay in their illegal settlements and continue to have more influx of them in those illegal settlements, which they’re more than happy to do, you’re making the problem far worse, why not put sanctions on them and make sure they completely leave those illegally occupied settlements and force them to do so, you can still do both, especially the latter of removing them from those illegally occupied settlements, by not doing that, you’re basically giving them the green light to stay in those settlements and further grow as well, making the problem even worse, so this helps nothing and is just a bunch of nonsense and totally benefits the settlers and continued illegal occupation by them and further growth of them into those settlements and harms the Palestinians even more, this is why you cannot trust the U.S. & Europe, after all, Israel is their creation and military base and guard dog over there so naturally they won’t go against it.
Nutinyahoo wants Israel from the river to the sea to be Palestinian free and is using genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank and Golan Heights as well as apartheid in Israel to get it.
Lmao the US officials are a bunch of clowns 😂
Mes frères et sœurs palestiniens nous sommes avec vous, le monde est avec vous pour toujours 🤲❤
Those are milicia.Not setlers .
These arm milicia fighting civilians without weapons.They cowards.The most coward people in the whole planet.
West bank is full of terrorists!
Visa ban? Oh palease. Pathetic. Biden is toast.
Just dust in world’s eyes !USA wants Palestinians trouble makers out of American territory ,out of their universities .You will see the law won’t apply to Jewish settlers or students !
Palestine.. Aku bersamamu
Be aware Americans : Israel will do same thing with America your government is giving milk to snake
And we pray for your protection but signs are telling this
They will destroy America just wait
Destroy us their GOAL..CACUSIAN RACE too late they control biden..unelected j ew President Blinken
Their history in Europe makes a lot more sense now.
Why the blind world is silent
I know governments arent even lifting a finger to try and resolve the issue, but why isn’t the global private sector not applying pressure?
I haveca question ❓ Its true that his news Canal AI Jazeera supporting somehow at Hamas and Jihads organisation?
It is late for the US, Russia and China is gaining more respect and weight in the World
And if the Palestinians fight back watch the media make them the bad guy “TERRORIST TERRORIST” it’s like when your getting bullied For an entire year at school and you finally strike back against your bully and give him a few punches but than you get in trouble and get suspended that’s how it’s like
This is similar to applying a travel ban on a mass scooter. It’s like throwing a cup of water onto a massive wild fire
Visa ban is drama actual fave of america is providing all facilities to Israel finance and arms for Genocide and war crimes in gaza
