The Stop The Settlements Act is a big deal. Accountability for the people and entities that perpetuate settlement growth is an essential step towards building a lasting peace. Read Congressman Castro's press release: tinyurl.com/sts-act

New Jewish Narrative @newjewishnarrative.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

The Stop The Settlements Act is a crucial and long-overdue step towards combating settlement expansion. Tell your Representative to support this legislation: www.newjewishnarrative.org/take-action/sts-act

012

New Jewish Narrative @newjewishnarrative.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Stopping the settlement growth would protect Palestinians from dispossession of their land and help create a pathway to peace and a future where both Israelis and Palestinians can fully exercise their right to self-determination.

New Jewish Narrative @newjewishnarrative.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

The Stop The Settlements Act uses sanctions to impose consequences for settlement growth. It also applies trade restrictions on settlement goods. This legislation would complement and build on the steps being taken by US allies.

100

New Jewish Narrative @newjewishnarrative.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

NJN agrees: the need for action is urgent. Existing US pressure has failed to deter the rapid expansion of settlements under Israel’s current government. Other countries have stepped up with sanctions targeting West Bank settlements, but American leadership has been conspicuously absent. Until now.

NJN urges members of Congress to support the Stop The Settlements Act and take meaningful action to halt the expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

New Jewish Narrative @newjewishnarrative.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

“US leadership on this issue is long overdue. The Stop The Settlements Act would give the United States meaningful new tools to push back against settlement expansion," said Hadar Susskind, NJN President & CEO.

New Jewish Narrative @newjewishnarrative.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

The Stop The Settlements Act would establish restrictions on goods produced in Israeli settlements and impose sanctions related to settlement construction and expansion. The sanctions would apply to individuals and businesses who engage in or facilitate settlement activity.

100

New Jewish Narrative @newjewishnarrative.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

In recent years, the pace of settlement construction has skyrocketed. Since 2023, 185 new outposts have been established, over 100 new settlements created, more than 58,000 housing units advanced, and 25,959 dunams declared state land.

This Rosh Hashanah, when you hear the sound of the shofar, remember that it can be the sound of protest, of dissent, showing us the way forward. Hear in it the call to see injustice, not to despair in it but to correct it. It can inspire hope for the future that we can create together.
