Financial War and Economic Peace in Israel-Palestine
The United States has long used economic coercion in hopes of achieving "economic peace" in Israel/Palestine. Yet its vision of this peace has notably shifted over time. While earlier sanctions punished those who disrupted the Israeli-Palestinian "peace process" or undermined neoliberal dreams of global commercial integration, Biden's recent sanctions against West Bank settlers aim primarily to secure a peace deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia, relegating Palestinians to observer status.
