US ambassador labels Jewish settlers attacking Palestinians as terrorists

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee called Jewish settlers attacking Palestinian Arabs in the West Bank “terrorists,” posting the statement on X.

“Attributed to 'settlers, ' but these criminal acts are NOT by settlers. They're UNSETTLERS.  I know many settlers-good, decent ppl.  Those who steal, vandalise, & injure others are terrorists,” he wrote.

Great message from @IsraelPresident @Isaac_Herzog abt violence in Judea/Samaria. Attributed to "settlers" but these criminal acts are NOT by settlers. They're UNSETTLERS. I know many settlers-good, decent ppl. Those who steal, vandalize, & injure others are terrorists. https://t.co/ZmDD70OxbV

He also welcomed the decision of Israeli President Isaac Herzog to publicly condemn the actions of Jewish settlers targeting Palestinian Arabs.

Earlier, Israeli and Palestinian media have reported a recent surge in violence by settlers against Arabs living in the West Bank.
