White House Condemns Attacks on Palestinian Civilians in West Bank
The White House issued a statement on Thursday condemning the violent attacks carried out by Israeli settlers on Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank. The National Security Council spokesperson emphasized that such attacks are unacceptable and must stop immediately.
According to eyewitnesses, a mob of illegal Israeli settlers stormed the town of Jit, causing chaos and destruction. Israeli forces reportedly provided protection to the settlers and prevented Palestinian civil defense vehicles from entering the town.
These recent attacks are part of a disturbing trend in the West Bank, where Israeli military raids have escalated in recent years. The violence has resulted in the death of at least one person and injuries to many others.
In a landmark decision, the International Court of Justice declared Israel’s occupation of Palestinian land illegal and called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
The White House’s statement underscores the urgent need for Israeli authorities to intervene and hold perpetrators of violence against Palestinian civilians accountable. It is imperative to protect all communities and ensure peace and stability in the region.
