West Bank settler violence draws condemnation

The U.S. and Pope Leo XIV condemned Israeli settler attacks on Palestinian families in the West Bank, with Washington calling the siege of Qusra 'state-backed settler terror.' The IDF has declined to enforce orders removing settlers from a closed military zone.

A Palestinian-American is traveling to the West Bank to reach his family's home, which is encircled by illegal settlers.

UN officials have accused Israel of outsourcing coercion to settlers in the occupied territory.
