The White House is “extremely troubled” by the Israeli Knesset’s vote to repeal parts of a 2005 law that had banned Israelis from entering and residing in four communities in the northern West Bank.
Israeli lawmakers approved the private measure—sponsored by Yuli Edelstein, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s National Liberal Movement/Likud party—in a 31–18 vote in the early hours of March 21.
