As one of his first acts after taking office, Trump rolls back dozens of Biden’s executive orders, including sanctions against a list of Israeli residents of Judea and Samaria – days after Biden extended the order for another year.
Just hours after taking office on Monday, President Donald Trump signed a flurry of executive orders revoking orders put in place by his predecessor, Joe Biden, including several targeting Israel or Israeli citizens.
Among the executive orders Trump signed Monday overturning Biden-era policies was a measure terminating restrictions on arms sales to Israel imposed during the war in Gaza.
Additionally, Trump signed a sweeping order overturning 66 of Biden’s executive orders and 12 of his presidential memorandums, including the February 1st, 2024 Executive Order 14115, which targeted Israelis living in Judea and Samaria whom the Biden White House designated as “extremist settlers.”
