  "account": "In the West Bank region, there have been instances of Jewish extremists assaulting foreign reporters and Western diplomats, though previously such incidents resulted in swift consequences for the perpetrators. However, in recent days, a Washington Post photojournalist and Western diplomats reportedly faced assaults, unlike in the past. The world now perceives that the Israeli government is unlikely to take any action beyond issuing condemnations. This departure from past responses is evident in the record of the past three years, particularly in the last three months.",
  "summary": "No matter who is prime minister after October 27, if the situation in the West Bank does not come under control, violent Jewish extremists could become an even greater direct danger to Israel.",
