We built a coalition of more than 50 countries to help deal with the aggression that Putin is committing in Ukraine.

The President himself has been very clear, very direct, and very explicit about our concerns about extreme settler violence.

We are very aggressively engaged in cracking down on financing and support for Hamas.

The impediment has been Hamas.

We have sanctioned more than 400 Iranian individuals or entities for things like supporting Hamas.
