The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned what it termed 'terrorist settler militias' for escalating violence, accusing the international community of inaction and failure to intervene. The ongoing attacks reflect a growing boldness among settlers, encouraged by global neglect in addressing the situation in the occupied West Bank, particularly as violence continues amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Settlers attacked the towns of Beit Furik and Huwara, where they deliberately set fire to Palestinian properties, including homes and vehicles, during clashes with Israeli soldiers. The Israeli military claimed these attacks coincided with operations to dismantle unauthorized outposts, further exacerbating tensions in the region.
Israeli police and security agencies stated they have initiated investigations into the attacks, with reports of arrests made. However, these actions have done little to quell the fears of Palestinian communities, who feel increasingly vulnerable to settler violence, particularly with the international community's perceived indifference.
The statement by the Palestinian Ministry highlighted the urgent need for international attention and action, emphasizing that the situation cannot continue unchecked. They've called for global accountability in response to the aggressive actions of settlers and the broader implications for peace and stability in the West Bank.
