Cotton and others say admin\u2019s efforts \u2018undercut our\u2063 most valuable\u2019 ally<\/h2>\n<figure><figcaption>Sen. Tom Cotton (Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div>\n<p>The Biden\u2063 administration is facing pressure from Congress\u2064 to explain a series of executive\u200d orders that have targeted \u2062Israeli Jews with sanctions, undermining their efforts to eradicate Hamas. This has sparked concern among a group of Republican senators, led \u2063by\u200c Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.), who are urging the administration to rescind these orders.<\/p>\n<p>The first order imposes \u200dsanctions on Israeli Jews \u2063for alleged crimes against Palestinians, while the second threatens to cut off U.S. \u200cweapons\u200c sales to Israel unless assurances are provided\u200c that the arms will not harm civilians. These measures were issued earlier\u2063 this month in response to pressure from \u2062far-left Democratic lawmakers who oppose U.S. \u200bsupport for Israel in its conflict with\u2063 Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>In a letter sent to President Biden, the Republican senators \u200bargue that these executive actions are\u2063 undermining Israeli operations against Hamas and jeopardizing the United\u200d States&#8217; most\u200b valuable \u2064alliance in\u2063 the Middle\u2064 East. They highlight the growing divide between\u200d Republicans and the Democratic White House as Israel&#8217;s war with Hamas continues.<\/p>\n<p>The senators call for\u200c the administration to rescind the\u200d orders \u200band instead focus\u200c on sanctioning terrorists and their supporters. They point out that the United States has \u200cnot sanctioned any\u2063 Palestinians for crimes against Jews, despite a significant increase in terror incidents targeting Jews.<\/p>\n<p>The senators also express concern about the lack of defined standards for determining when sanctions are warranted against Israelis\u2064 accused of violence. They criticize the State Department for not taking action against \u2063the Palestinian Authority, which has a policy of financially supporting terrorists \u200bwho have committed heinous acts against Israelis.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, \u200dthe senators question the Biden administration&#8217;s order that imposes additional requirements on Israel to \u200densure U.S.-made weapons are not \u2064used to commit war crimes. They argue\u2064 that existing American \u200claw already mandates adherence to international standards for war, and Israel has provided evidence of its efforts to avoid civilian casualties.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden \u200cadministration&#8217;s policies targeting Israel have also faced scrutiny from Congress,\u2063 including Sen. Cotton&#8217;s efforts to determine \u2062if the sanctions on Israeli Jews will apply to those living in East Jerusalem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senators, including Sen.
