U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee said settlers are not the problem in Judea and Samaria, distinguishing them from what he called a very small minority of “unsettlers” who harm Palestinian families and Israel. He cited Yesha Council chairman Ysrael Ganz as representing residents who condemn such violence and urged media to highlight that position. The statement followed Huckabee’s earlier criticism of violence against a Palestinian family in Qusra, where he said the U.S. Embassy had been deeply involved and Israeli security forces responded at its request.
