Netanyahu criticizes West Bank settler violence
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the acts of violence carried out by Israeli settlers in the villages of Kustra and Jalud in the West Bank. Dozens of settlers attacked the villages, threw stones at residents, and detained people inside their homes. Netanyahu stated that these settlers are a limited group breaking the law and harming Israel's international reputation. Israeli President Isaac Herzog called for an end to the settler violence and for those responsible to be brought to justice, considering these acts a shameful stain on Israel. These events come after a rise in attacks against Palestinian civilians, with documented injuries and detentions, and Israeli occupation forces affirming the continued deployment of troops in the area to prevent further unrest. The escalation of settler attacks in the West Bank is part of expanding settler activities amid international and legal criticisms, which most of the international community deems illegal. Since October 2023, these attacks have resulted in the deaths of over 1,103 Palestinians, while 48 Israelis have been killed in related operations.
