Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara discusses how the US Department of State has said that it will impose visa restrictions on Israeli settlers involved in undermining peace, security or stability in the Occupied West Bank.

Marwan Bishara is a Palestinian-Israeli Arab, born in Nazareth, Israel. He is currently an author, columnist and the senior political analyst for Al Jazeera English.

From 2007 to 2014, Bishara was the editor and host of their flagship programme Empire, which examined global powers and their agendas in a fusion of documentary and debate with politicians, generals, philosophers, academics, novelists, movie directors, and activists from the world over.

He has been described as "one of the Arab world's leading public intellectuals" and writes extensively on global politics and is widely considered a leading authority on the Middle East and international affairs.

Although he grew up in Israel, Marwan Bishara has spent most of his adult life outside the country, including periods of studying, living and working in the United States and France as well as traveling extensively in the course of his career interests, travel which he has described as providing "perspectives like no other".
