Haqabi condemns settlers' actions as criminal
US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Hakabi, described the assaults by Israeli settlers in the West Bank as "criminal and terrorist," expressing support for Palestinians' right to live in security and peace. Hakabi visited the town of Taremza, where more than 80% of its residents are Americans, and listened to testimonies about their encounters with repeated attacks by settlers, which included smashing windows and attempting to set homes on fire. During the visit, two settlers conducted a demonstration near the home of one of the residents. The American official emphasized the responsibility of the Israeli government to ensure the safety of its citizens and described the attacking settlers as damaging Israel's image, stressing that acts of violence threaten peace and security in the region. Taremza, a town whose majority population is American, is subjected to hundreds of settler attacks, despite the Israeli occupation forces continuing to support and facilitate settlement expansion on its lands. Settlements in the area frequently experience assaults on Palestinians and their property. These hostile actions are part of an escalation of violence led by settlers with the backing of Israeli policies, amid a broader increase in tensions since the start of the war on Gaza in October 2023.
