There are growing calls for Joe Biden to use his new executive order sanctioning violent Israeli settlers to also target political leaders, including government ministers, responsible for driving attacks against Palestinians.

Human rights groups also want to see the measures used to stop US groups from donating tens of millions of dollars each year to the settlers.
