President-elect Donald Trump promises to abandon the Biden administration’s duplicity toward Israel and accommodation of Iran. An easy win for Trump and future ambassador Mike Huckabee is canceling sanctions against Israelis “for undermining peace, security, and stability in the West Bank,” in the words of an executive order from February of this year.

Advertised as addressing “settler violence” in the West Bank, Biden’s anti-Israel sanctions regime violates several standards of sanctions policy and threatens the speech rights of Americans.
