CAUGHT ON CAMERA: NBC Crew and Palestinian Woman Attacked in West Bank
NBC said four crew members were hurt as settlers used sticks and rocks in an attack caught on video, while the Palestinian woman was hospitalized.
- On Saturday, masked Israeli settlers attacked an NBC News Team and Palestinian family in the West Bank town of Jalud during an interview with Aida Ahmed Abdullah.
- The Israeli-occupied West Bank, home to 3 million Palestinians and 500,000 Israeli settlers, has experienced rising violence; the United Nations reported an uptick in attacks against journalists.
- Masked men in a gray car drove toward the group, hitting Abdullah, 51, and crew members with sticks and rocks; Producer Lawahez Jabari described the vehicle rushing uphill before occupants damaged equipment.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the 'criminal acts of violence,' though he omitted that Americans were targeted; U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee drew criticism for similar silence.
- Critics including Trita Parsi and Hooman Majd suggested Huckabee's response reflects endorsement of 'Greater Israel' territorial aspirations, urging him to prioritize protecting American citizens over defending Israeli officials.
