U.S. Stalls Sale of 27,000 Rifles to Israel over Settler Violence

HeadlineDec 14, 2023

British Foreign Secretary David Cameron says the United Kingdom will deny visas to Israeli settlers who’ve committed violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. The U.S. recently announced similar visa restrictions. This comes as the Biden administration delayed the planned sale of 27,000 U.S.-made M16 rifles to Israel over concerns they could be used in attacks by West Bank settlers. Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir ordered police not to arrest Israelis who commit violence in the West Bank, where more than 280 Palestinians, including 64 children, have been killed since October 7.
