| The Times of Israel | US SAID FUMING AT ISRAEL FOR ALLOWING ‘ANARCHY,’ RAMPANT SETTLER VIOLENCE IN WEST BANK | 1 hr ago |
The United States has publicly expressed anger at Israel for allegedly allowing unchecked settler violence in the West Bank. According to a report from The Times of Israel, President Trump has withheld a public rebuke despite frustration with Israel’s response, citing that the U.S. had lifted sanctions on settlers after taking office.
The Times of Israel notes that Trump’s decision not to publicly confront Israel comes amid reports of rising settler aggression. A senior White House official, cited by The Jerusalem Post, has stated that Israel is not doing enough to quell the violence. Meanwhile, a separate Times of Israel article details a Palestinian American in Ohio observing settlers besieging his family in Qusra, illustrating the broader human impact of the conflict.
Settler violence in the West Bank has been a longstanding point of tension between Israel and the United States, especially after the Trump administration’s policy shift lifting sanctions on certain settler groups.
