In addition to revoking the order regarding residents of Judea and Samaria, Trump also canceled Executive Order 14022 from April 1, 2021, in which Biden ended the 'national emergency' with respect to the International Criminal Court.
On first day as US president, Trump canceled sanctions on Israeli 'settlers,' paused aid to UNRWA, authorized deportation of terror supporters, lifted restrictions on arms sales to Israel, and reinstated sanctions on ICC.

'The failure of the sanctions would mean defeat for America, and the US should once again be slapped in the face by the Iranian nation,' Khamenei said.
Netanyahu congratulated Trump for 'making the important decision to impose sanctions on Iran. This is an important moment for Israel, the US, the region and the entire world.'
The US says Iran is the world's foremost state sponsor of terror and cannot be treated as an equal in the global community until it halts these activities.
“We cannot and will not make this certification,” Trump said of the Iran nuclear deal. “We will not continue down a path whose predictable conclusion is more violence, more terror and the very real threat of Iran’s nuclear breakout."
