For the first time ever, a group of Senate Democrats will unveil a bill tomorrow that would impose sanctions on "foreign companies, individuals or other entities" which are involved in the E1 settlement project in the illegally-occupied West Bank. Its authors are Warren, Coons, Gallego and Wyden.

By comparison, there is one Jewish/Zionist party open to a 2SS, and it’s at around 8%.

If Eizenkot is able to oust Netanyahu and form a government this will be a major challenge. The right will be very eager to make hay of any serious enforcement against Jewish settlers.

Many Israelis on the center left arguing these days that the focus must be on removing Netanyahu at all costs and then next time we can focus on “ideology,” i.e. resolving the I/P conflict. To which my response is, what exactly about public opinion trends makes you think there will be a next time?

It's not 100% of the time but a good heuristic for determining whether or not someone is actually serious about Palestine in any way, shape or form is if they talk about "settler violence" in place of the settlements themselves. If they do that, you can guess that they're pro settlements.

TOI with some interesting detail on the sanctions. Seems like the UK is preparing to ease/cancel sanctions should Netanyahu lose next month. Its conditions, except for the extremely vague “advance a political resolution” basically amount to restoring the pre-2023 status quo. So that’s not great.

Interesting analysis of the UK’s sanctions this AM in Globes (sort of Israel’s answer to the WSJ.) Key points: -Exports from settlements to the UK are $48 mn/year, compared to total Israeli exports to the UK of $1.5bn/year. So pretty insignificant from that perspective.

If this from Haaretz is accurate, looks like the British sanctions will be more symbolic and have limited impact on the ground. Reinforces my belief that there won’t be any real pressure on Israel before Trump is replaced.

Will be very interesting to see the details here. If limited to settlement exports, it’s mostly symbolic. OTOH if it includes Israeli companies building/maintaining settlements, it could be a game changer. (I have no idea if the latter is a real possibility.)

Key point. There’s been a lot of speculation about Eizenkot’s “real” views which largely ignores (or wishes away) what he’s running on and the people he’s chosen to run with.
