US ambassador to Israel slams settler siege against West Bank Palestinians as ‘terror’
Middle East4 sources4 countries37m ago
On Thursday, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee denounced a siege conducted by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank village of Qusra, describing the event as a "horrific act of terror."
The remarks from the U.S. ambassador are considered especially striking given his background as an evangelical Christian pastor. In the past, Huckabee has embraced Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank—which has been occupied by Israel since 1967—and has rejected the idea of a Palestinian state.
