Hakabi Warns Qasra Settler Actions Violate Laws
The U.S. Ambassador to Israel, David Hockabee, issued a warning to Israeli settlers involved in surrounding Palestinian homes in the village of Qusra in the West Bank, emphasizing that those found responsible for these attacks may face U.S. sanctions, including entry bans to the United States. Hockabee praised the U.S. government's sense of "shock" at the events in Qusra, describing the settlers' activities against Palestinians as unjustified and "disgusting," and stressed the need for Israel to hold those responsible accountable. He also confirmed that controlling homes or lands owned by people and intimidating families violate laws and the values of "God's law," pointing out that such actions constitute moral and religious violations. The incidents date back to August 9, when settlers surrounded Palestinian homes in Qusra amid accusations of trying to seize Palestinian land. The Israeli army expelled the settlers but did not prevent them from remaining in the area, raising concerns among residents. Hockabee's remarks reflect increasing tensions, with the U.S. administration repeatedly condemning settler violence, attempting to distinguish between those involved in the assaults and the broader settler community, despite previously categorizing some of these acts as terrorism against Israel.
