WASHINGTON: The White House on Thursday condemned what it called “unacceptable” attacks on Palestinians by Jewish settlers, after one person was killed and another wounded in a village in the occupied West Bank.
“Attacks by violent settlers against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank are unacceptable and must stop,” a National Security Council spokesperson said in a statement.
“Israeli authorities must take measures to protect all communities from harm, this includes intervening to stop such violence, and holding all perpetrators of such violence to account.”
The Palestinian health ministry said a 23-year-old man was killed and another suffered critical gunshot wounds to the chest in the attack on the village of Jit, west of Nablus.
The Israeli military said “dozens of Israeli civilians, some of them masked,” had entered Jit and “set fire to vehicles and structures in the area, hurled rocks and Molotov cocktails.”
Israeli President Isaac Herzog condemned the incident.
