Biden extends national emergency on West Bank, citing US security concerns, until February 2026.

US President Joe Biden extended the national emergency concerning the West Bank until February 1, 2026, citing an extraordinary threat to US national security and foreign policy. The extension aims to address threats to peace and stability in the West Bank, Gaza, and the broader Middle East, while supporting a two-state solution. Critics argue that the sanctions target individuals who pose no threat to America. The decision was published in the Federal Register and communicated to Congress.
