jordan pulse : US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee stated that there is a consensus in Israel condemning violence in the occupied West Bank. His remarks come as settler attacks against Palestinians escalate, amid growing concerns over attempts to impose a new reality on the ground.
Huckabee added that the half a million Israelis living in the West Bank are 'disgusted' by a group of rioters whom he claimed are 'inaccurately described as settlers.'
Meanwhile, the Israeli newspaper Maariv quoted a military source confirming that police have not arrested any settlers involved in the violent incidents that occurred in the town of Qusra, south of Nablus in the West Bank, on Saturday.
The US Ambassador’s statements arrive amid a surge in attacks across various parts of the West Bank, coinciding with Palestinian warnings regarding the expansion of settler violence and Israeli measures targeting Palestinian villages.
On Sunday, the Israel Hayom newspaper quoted sources within the Israeli military expressing concerns that certain factions within the government may be interested in intentionally escalating tensions in the West Bank for political motives.
The sources added that the military 'will not support any steps in the West Bank that are not dictated by the realities on the ground.'
In the latest wave of violence, dozens of armed and masked Israeli settlers attacked homes on the outskirts of the occupied West Bank village of Qusra on Saturday. This marks the first major assault since a settler-imposed siege in the area earlier in August, an event that sparked widespread international condemnation.
According to witnesses who spoke to Reuters, the settlers surrounded a Palestinian home and pelted it with stones while seven Palestinians remained trapped inside.
