for the first time in history, an american president will put sanctions on israeli citizens president biden's executive order targets four israelis involved in violence against palestinians on the west bank. israel has occupied the west bank since 1967, establishing towns for jews only, displacing palestinians in addition, religious fanatics often attack civilians with impunity let's go to josh letterman good morning what do we know about the men who will be sanctioned >> reporter: good morning, frances. three of these four people had already been prosecuted by the israeli government for their alleged violence against palestinians as well as attempts to destroy palestinian property, things like burning down palestinian fields, according to u.s. officials, which was the result of these sanctions, not only will they be prevented from getting a visa from the u.s. but

freezes them out of the u.s. system, barring americans from doing business with them but more significant is the signal that the biden administration is trying to send with this step both to israel's government, trying to make clear to prime minister netanyahu that he needs to do more to rein in violence from israelis toward palestinians that he believes is fueling tensions in the region but also the signal he's trying to send back at home as so many americans, arab-american voters and others are upset with the president for the u.s. support for israel during this war and it comes as the u.s. has not yet responded to that attack in jordan that killed those three americans. here is what defense secretary lloyd austin had to say about why the u.s. hasn't acted yet. take a listen. >> as you know, we've responded a number of times. it's time to take away even more capability than we've taken in the past in terms of the, you use the
