The US is taking increasingly assertive steps in trying to limit settler violence.
First, the demand was made for Israel to control “extremist” violence. Following that, a visa ban was imposed last week on some individuals linked to this violence. Now, the shipment of 27,000 military-style rifles, initially destined for the Israeli national police, has been temporarily halted by the Biden administration. There are concerns that these weapons could end up in the hands of settlers.
Notably, the pause comes after the shipment had already cleared the initial congressional review and passed the committee stage.

Right to defend themselves from terrorist what wrong in it
Palestine people have the Right to defend. NOT Israel, Israel is an Occupier. The US and UK Leaders are trying to FOOL the WORLD. But we can see straight through their BS!
Is Al Jazeera US TV? Cant stop talking about us 😂
So, keep the violence but low-key ?
Woww that is sweet of Mr biden.
How pathetic you all are. Monsters!
Israel implemented essentially a gun-free zone. Legislated against its people disarming them in hopes to create a safer environment. Guess what gun-free zones don’t work. Israel needs to arm its citizens. Especially since hamas/Palestinians have said that attacks will continue.
Unraw needs to he held accountable for continuing to feed the youth terrorists propaganda.
God gave the land to the jews
Biden is sending more bombs, rockets, artillery, and bullets. A man of peace.
💗🙏🇯🇴💪THANK YOU PRO-PALESTINE SUPPORTERS these restrictions on weapons of death would not have happened without you. God bless and continue to keep each one of you safe from harm.
Arent settlers terrorists as they are in other peoples territory?
They are hot settlers they are thieves and terrorists funny how these cowards can only attack unarmed Palestinian civilians. Israel has absolutely no right to exist in this way.
Peaceful zionists
“Assurances from Israeli government” HAHAHAHAHAHA
US mustard De arm Isreal and settles .
Stop sending arms to Isreal terrorists state
Never Trust this Country,, infact they are the real threat to global security and stability. And world war three will occur because of this country
No aid No visas No Aipac for Israel. Get out of the West Bank. Stop the slaughter
If this settlers have guts then go to gaza
We really don’t want that
“Closet Racist” is what Netanyahu and his pack of cronies are. He and his brand of “insect politics” torwards the Palestinian ppl. Are what have been the main source of problems for years. Netanyahu has run amok unchecked. Under charges of corruption, bribery. This thug, has sought to change his countries laws. In order to evade justice, and further his stranglehold on power. Over the cries of dissent from his own ppl. A tactic used by all “Pariah” thoughout history. Hussein, Stalin, Milosevic, Hitler, and now Netanyahu. 7,500 innocent Palestinian children killed since Oct 7th! A number that should horrify any human being. No finger pointing here. The blood lays squarely on his hands. Something that is absolutely inexcusable, was totally unnecessary, and completely unacceptable in any modern society. The time is overdue, to banish Netanyahu and all forms of terrorism. Two wrongs dont make a right. Both their end points have been determined to end. In the same place.
Let joe biden send even muclear weapon..there is no power greater than GOD. Already his killed thousands of palestine babies his a TERRORIST just like natanyahu
Congratulations for your brave reporting.. Zionist ‘bast….d’ nation was a creation of the imperialists US, UK and their cronies….now it’s in their best interest to feed and protect them to do all nasty things, which the world is watching live.
If they are none state actors using violence to further their political agenda, they are terrorists…
If Hamas are terrorists then surely these jewish extremists that carry out exactly the same or worse actions are also terrorists…?
This is just drama by usa to make good image in public
Isrealy is terrorist state shame on isrealy Zionist terrorist… isrealy army and govt both hate for muslim and Christian community.. because you see in gaza destroyed church and mosque and killing innocent Christians and muslim citizens
American government is a facade. Equally as guilty as Israel. American presidents are puppets to a larger agenda.
USA heartless country…
More drama by US…
Why would Americans want these violent people in our country, in the first place?
American administration emerges as an anti
“ARAB” Govt:
ARABS collectively should think some thing different, about the american military presence in the
Middle East…
I’ve been saying that for weeks now but they don’t have the Guts apparently!
Illegal settlements should be disbanded. Leave the West Bank and Gaza.
Really, i think that USA, pretend to critic Israel, but, let it happen, and wait for the end of war,by doing Nothing..
That is good news that Biden admin stopped the shipment of these 27,000 guns but more needs to be done by international community to stop Israeli aggression and encroachment in Palestine.
Its funny that everyone talks about Israel radicalizing the Palestinians with their actions. The same thing is obviously happening in Israel. The Palestinian army raping and killing women amd babies might hsve effects on the people. I dont know why thos wouldn’t be expected.

The claim of beheaded babies was disproved by journalists. The claim of sexual violence by Hamas isn’t verified. It possibly happened.
If the US TRULY wanted to stop the violence from the settlers and israel in general, then they would not send that country a single penny in aid and no more weapons.
But because the US government is owned by Js, they won’t do that. When the US economy collapses and the taxpayers are still bailing out companies and sending money to israel guess who the public is going to blame….. The Js have already shown their hand that they own every crevice in America’s financial institutions. You can’t cancel people who don’t have any jobs or houses.
just another of my government’s tactics to distract anyone from what’s really happening in gaza.
Building settlements are illegal and now they want to have weapons to “defend” themselves too🤔
No building or settling in disputed areas
So Why does the US not enforce the UN policy that states that the Israeli Occupation in West Bank is Illegal, This was since Decades ago and nothing to do with Hamas or Oct 7!
As if the army is much more reasonable than the settlers so it’s okey to arm the army who are already killing thousands of children but not the settlers because these are really not as reasonable as the army…what a hypocrisy it’s like an insult to the world’s intelligence
Israel is experiencing their Great Comeuppance. Once Turkey and Algeria join the party, it should escalate Israel’s humility.
I like the way you put that.
The west bank in not occupied by Israel, but being reoccupied.
So how about the bald black dude who used phew phew the Palestinian with “the biggest…ever…aircraft… carrier…in history.
He should be charged for “a war crime”😏
?
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 Stop the EXTERMINATION of the Palestinians! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 Stop accepting the steady stream of lies from Netanyahu, his government officials, and the IDF! We can all see what is actually happening—thanks to those like Al Jazeera and others who are doing real journalism—the gaslighting isn’t working like it used to. As a natural born US citizen I have never been so ashamed of being American, and never been so enraged and disgusted with my government! History will not treat the US kindly.
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 Palestinian lives matter! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 Free Palestine forever! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
theres government there to stop that crome , an only democratic government in middle est , why then settlers are able to do that crime , where are IDF and other forces to stop them ??
Shame on Israel. Shame on USA. Shame on pakistan 🇵🇰 army for not helping hamas and Palestinians.
Hamas is bad too. Netanyahu supported them to discredit Gaza.
Oh wow, the US is actually putting some conditions on its war profiteering and arms sales to fascists for a change… It must be Christmas.
I can see islamic settler creating violence everywhere
Do you expect us to believe Biden and demonic Blinken are being assertive to Netanyahu!? They’re telling Netanyahu to do what ever he wants.
How Honorable is America 🙈
If the US and Western Powers Held Israel Accountable for their previous WAR Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity there would be no Hamas or Oct 7 event! And Exactly HOW is a Visa Ban supposed to give back the Palestine people their Land and Homes? DISGUSTING US GOVERNMENT!
🌺🙏🌺God have mercy on Palestinian’s give Your protection to all of them🌺🙏🌺
Amen
Let’s only hope that america realizes the same thing general patton of ww2 did: “we defeated the wrong enemy”…..and he wasn’t talking about the soviets.
Zionist nationalists violating international law are ok but Palestinian nationalists fighting against a decades-long occupation are “terrorists”?
This did NOT start on 7 OCT.
USA needs to distance ourselves from Netanhayu’s utter B.S.
It’s a pause for appearances. Joe Biden will continue bathing in the blood of Palestinians, he has an election coming up after all!
Shame on Isralis to steel Land and food from the owners of Palestine.
shame on biden fooling its Amercian and whole world after veto against ceasefire he trying to manage anger of his people. … those are killed is poor civilians
They always lie. Whats new?
just stop everything get ceasefire and get aid in now
Sells tank rounds to Israel
“Oh no guys. We’d better not sell them rifles too that would be too violent.”
The bombs being used to perpetrate genocide in Gaza are Yankee bombs.
all those settlers are dual citizens and the USA, UK and others they done nothing for over 75 years to stop the killer settlers, would anyone believe that they will take real action this time, without settlers and the land grab Israel will no be what is today
Biden’s America is doing far to little far to late.
Israel has become a monster “Made in America”.
Far to late for America to be seen politically to be washing its hands from being complicit and an accessory to the Gaza genocide.
America can go on washing its hands now forever and a day but America’s complicity dirt will remain in the minds of many for years.
18500 innocent people who have done nothing wrong have lost their lives and if America should think that this genocide can be washed away by the use of words then America should thing again!
🇦🇺💯%
American detritus 💩💩💩💩🇺🇸💩💩💩💩🇺🇸💩💩💩💩🇺🇸
Jewish invaders have American guns and bullets
Palestinians land owners have only sticks and stones
😢
Are America just naive or playing ignorant .they were fully aware those guns where used in Palestinians civilians and now what to have reassurance from Israel that it’s not going to be used by those violent settlers against the Palestinians. Biden administration has so much to answer for ..they literally handed the weapons to Israel to wipe out the Palestinians .
To limit? It should be stopped altogether
Why the occupation in the first place
it’s a “dog and pony show.”
corporate-owned D/R politicians are the war criminals *RESPONSIBLE* for this mess.
Welcome to war world there is nothing worse than the messenger that believes the lies that the messenger is sending so so so very very sad.
I believe the US politicians as much as I believe the occupation government
Lies lies lies
Slapped them with a visa ban last time. What now? When the visa is reinstated, they can only fly 2nd class? Let’s go watch and see!
USA wants this carnage and allows it to happen.
27000 us rifles to isareli settlers.
and US wondering where settler violence is coming from ?
you couldnt make this dribble up !
That’s nothing new. These vulgar delincuents fanatics know as settlers has been invading palestine lands for so long without facing international reaction.
“settler violence”? How about “settler terrorism”? Why not cal it that?
Stop calling it the west bank and call it what it is.. Palestine
Smoke screen. The Zionists fears that they had exposed themselves to this war they engineered.
Keep fighting if you want your iwn state.Good luck.Trus only you self.
Thieves
🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱👈🏻👎👎👎👎🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱👈🏻👎👎👎👎👎
👎👎👎🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱👈🏻👎👎👎👎🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱😡😡😡😡
Who is the USA kidding? They are 100% against Palestinians, and they are happy that Israel settles are taking over the Palestinians’ land, they don’t care if they killed people to get it
Finally. But why does anyone have to wait for the US? I’m a fan of US influence but on this issue they are heavily compromised.
you are living in midd east and you are talking about usa and biden ..shame on you letting someone else making peace in your backyard hahaha it is like your country doesnt exist if you are waitnig usa and EU to respond hahahaha shame shame shame thse nations have already accepted USA as their GOD
Joe biden is 😈 back to he’ll
All word is antisemitic wow and what?
Israeli invaders, how are tbey settlers?
I hope this is just the beginning of the United States taking actions, not just words, against the brutality of not just illegal settlers, but also the war crimes being committed against civilians in Gaza. Talk is cheap! Actions speak louder than words.
I like how they call them Israel settlers. There terrorist
This is the real colonialism in all dictionaries. And this has happened for decades. The eyes of mainstream countries are always directed at Hamas, while, on the other hand, armed settlers, supported by Israeli government continue to expel and take the land of the local population. This is truly ignorant and unfair.
Violence here in usa. Violence there. Violence doctrine = racist violent people netanyahu biden trump same crazy lazy club shame shame. European gringos.
Israeli terrorists
Israel is committing Genocide. And US is financing this massacre. Israel is so weak. If Palestine is well armed they can fight back and cease Occupation
It is dumb that the US trusts Israel on the distribution of firearms. Israel cannot be trusted on anything.
They try to make everything looks nice on the surface, liar terrorist states!
Us selling to Zionist cartels hmm
Sio nisme ===terro risme
America is the father of terrorism
This is the Part Israeli Fanatics dont want to talk about, all they bring Up is 7th Oct, but not the part where Settlers are murdering Palestinians for Lunch
All this setters violence for years created resistance and action of the repressed people
America must be stopped israel must be stopped they are evil and cruel people they cannot lead our world
assertive puppet?
