Israel not doing enough to quell settler violence, senior White House official says - report
Earlier on Wednesday, the IDF began lifting the siege imposed by a group of settlers on two homes in the Palestinian village of Qusra, which is located in Area B of the West Bank.
A senior White House official has criticized Israel for not doing enough to curb violent settler attacks in the West Bank, according to the Jerusalem Post. The official plans to discuss the issue with the Israeli Prime Minister's Office and expects an explanation for the inability of the security establishment to quell the violence.
The situation has been exacerbated by recent clashes between IDF troops and settlers in the West Bank village of Qusra, where a siege was imposed on Palestinian homes and settlers dismantled fences and blocked roads. The IDF has ordered additional forces to reinforce the area and review their conduct and use of force in such incidents.
