The White House said that attacks carried out by “violent settlers” on Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank “are unacceptable and must stop” after one person was killed during a mob attack on a small Palestinian village, Anadolu reports.
“Attacks by violent settlers against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank are unacceptable and must stop,” a National Security Council spokesperson told Anadolu on condition of anonymity.
“Israeli authorities must take measures to protect all communities from harm. This includes intervening to stop such violence and holding all perpetrators of such violence to account,” the spokesperson added.
