The lawmakers said Ben Gvir and Smotrich are responsible for undermining security in the West Bank and are encouraging violent attacks against Palestinians through their actions and statements.

They also called on Biden to impose sanctions on the Amana organization, which is engaged in settlement expansion and is involved in establishing illegal outposts in the West Bank. The lawmakers also called for sanctions on the Regavim NGO, which Smotrich founded several years ago. They claimed the organization was involved in actions that resulted in the forcible displacement of Palestinians from their land in the West Bank. "Settler violence in the West Bank, incentivized by external organizations and even by extremist officials in the Netanyahu government, threatens the longterm strategic security of Israel and the region," they wrote.
