US Ambassador Visits West Bank Town Amid Rising Israeli Settler Violence
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee visited the Palestinian town of Turmus Ayya in the West Bank amid rising violence by Israeli settlers. The town, home to many Palestinian Americans, has faced repeated settler attacks, prompting residents and local officials to seek stronger protections. Huckabee, a supporter of Israeli settlements, called for severe consequences against violent settlers while stopping short of criticizing Israel. The visit highlights ongoing tensions as Israel's right-wing government expands settlements in the occupied territory.
