A US State Department spokesperson has formally condemned an attack on an NBC news crew by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank. The incident occurred on Saturday, prompting the American government to issue a statement denouncing criminal violence by any party involved in the region.
The condemnation follows reports of physical aggression against the journalists while they were operating in the territory. The US government's response emphasizes a stance against violence, though the language used in the official statement has been characterized by some observers as measured in its approach to the actions of the settlers.
