U.S. Ambassador Visits West Bank Town Amid Rising Settler Violence, Calls for Consequences
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee visited the Palestinian town of Turmus Ayya in the occupied West Bank, meeting residents and families of U.S. citizens killed by Israeli settlers amid rising settler violence. The town, near Ramallah, has experienced repeated attacks linked to nearby Israeli settlements, with about 80% of its 3,000 residents being Palestinian Americans. Huckabee called for severe consequences against violent settlers but did not criticize Israel, while local leaders sought U.S. assistance to improve security.
