Senate Democrats Push Sanctions Bill on Israel's E1 Settlements

Senate Democrats have introduced a bill to sanction individuals and entities involved in Israel's E1 settlement project in the occupied West Bank. The legislation, led by Senators Chris Coons, Elizabeth Warren, Ron Wyden, and Ruben Gallego, has at least 10 cosponsors and is before the Banking Committee. Reports that the project may be paused raise questions about whether the move is substantive or tactical.
