As a result of the campaign, several countries and international organizations imposed sanctions on Israeli settlers and groups associated with settlement activity over the past year. Last night (Thursday), Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the issue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;They Are Bravely Facing Terrorism&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nA senior diplomatic source reported that Netanyahu dismissed the &#8216;settler violence&#8217; accusations during his meeting with U.S. lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Netanyahu stated: &#8220;99.9% of our settlers are law-abiding and normative citizens. They are bravely facing Arab terrorism.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unwavering Support for Israel<\/strong><br \/>\nNetanyahu also met with bipartisan U.S. Senate leadership at Capitol Hill in Washington. During what was described as a &#8220;warm and friendly&#8221; meeting, the senators expressed unequivocal support for Netanyahu and the State of Israel, commending Israel\u2019s achievements in the multi-front war. The Prime Minister presented Israel\u2019s position, emphasizing the urgent need to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and to eliminate Hamas in Gaza \u2014 topics with which the Senate leadership expressed full agreement.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14681\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14681\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2-2.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2-2-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2-2-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14681\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Netanyahu\u2019s Meeting at Capitol Hill in Washington with U.S. Senate Leadership | Photo: Avi Ohayon, GPO<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Committed to Advance Legislation Against the ICC<\/strong><br \/>\nDuring the meeting, senators pledged to push forward U.S. legislation against the International Criminal Court (ICC) in addition to executive orders already signed by U.S. President Donald Trump.
