Washington urges Netanyahu to oppose settlement blockade
The United States has called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to condemn the settler siege of three Palestinian homes in the town of Qusra in the West Bank. The settlers have been encasing the homes for about a week, detaining around 15 Palestinians, including two children, without water or electricity, according to the United Nations. This escalation has led to increasing American pressure, especially after Washington learned that one of the detainees holds U.S. nationality. A senior American official criticized the settlers’ actions, describing them as "Israeli terrorists." This comes amidst Israeli occupation forces targeting settlers and Palestinian homes in the area, and as violence in the West Bank has escalated since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas in October 2023, with the Israeli government continuing to expand settlements.
