A delegation of senior American officials plans to visit the West Bank village of Qusra, south of Nablus, to observe the situation following reports of a siege by violent settlers. The US officials have reportedly requested that senior Israeli defense officials accompany them to explain the situation and their plans to address the increasing settler violence. US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee previously condemned the perpetrators as “Israeli terrorists.” The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reportedly provided dozens of photos of suspects to the Israel Police, though police stated the material lacked specific actions for arrests.
