The US has imposed travel bans on extremist Israeli Occupation settlers involved in recent attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank, as reported by the Guardian.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the decision, emphasizing the need for the Israeli Occupation to hold accountable settlers responsible for violent attacks.

While individual visa bans were not specified, officials anticipate their announcement this week, potentially affecting dozens of settlers and their families.

The move aims to restrict individuals undermining peace, security and stability in the West Bank.

The decision follows the Israeli Occupation's recent entry into the US visa waiver program.

The first bans will be imposed this week, with more designations expected.

Existing US visa holders among the targeted Israeli Occupation settlers will be notified of revocation.

Israeli Occupation settler attacks in the West Bank have doubled, according to UN figures.
