  "summary": "The Christian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank is planning to file a civil lawsuit in the United States against Israeli settlers who have been carrying out attacks and causing property damage. The municipality of Taybeh has asked residents with US passports or green cards to document any incidents they have experienced.\n\nThe planned lawsuit will also target \"American institutions that support these assaults\", according to the municipality. The Palestinian-American Olive Branch Funding Group, represented by lawyer Jonathan Kuttab, will cover the full cost of the case.\n\nThe Israeli attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank have reached an \"unprecedented\" level, according to Mustafa Barghouti, secretary general of the Palestinian National Initiative party. Barghouti described the goal of the settlers as \"ethnic cleansing\" and accused them of operating with \"total impunity\".",
