VIDEO: Casten Calls for Sanctions on High-Ranking Members of Netanyahu Government Responsible for the Increase in Settler Violence in the West Bank
Washington, D.C. — Today, U.S. Congressman Sean Casten (IL-06) spoke from the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives to press the Biden Administration to hold members of the Netanyahu Government – specifically Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir – accountable for the rise in settler violence, settlement expansion, and destabilizing activity in the West Bank.

Last week, Rep. Casten, along with Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), and Representative Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) led over 80 Congressional Democrats in a letter to President Biden urging him to sanction Ministers Smotrich and Ben-Gvir. You can find a copy of the letter here.
