For days, Israeli settlers have besieged Palestinian homes in the West Bank. Since Sunday, they have been blocking Palestinian houses in the village of Qusra, near the Palestinian city of Nablus, including one owned by a man who also holds US citizenship. Now, US Ambassador Mike Huckabee, widely regarded as very pro-Israel, has sharply criticized the settlers. In a post on the platform X, he described the settlers in Qusra as "Israeli terrorists". He wrote: "The actions of those who committed this horrific act of terror, intended to intimidate and harass this family, are abhorrent." He stated there is no excuse for "such brutal, thuggish behavior." The US has urged Israel's military and police to remove the radical settlers from Qusra.
