US Ambassador Condemns Israeli Settler Siege of Palestinian Homes in West Bank
Israeli settlers besieged three Palestinian homes in the West Bank village of Qusra for several days, including one owned by a Palestinian American family. The occupants faced shortages of food and water amid stone-throwing and harassment. The Israeli military intervened by dismantling illegal outposts, detaining one Israeli, and deploying additional troops. The U.S. ambassador to Israel condemned the siege as a "horrific act of terror," highlighting rising settler violence and concerns over protection for Palestinian communities in the area.
