New Israeli Roadblocks Entrench Siege of Homes in West Bank’s Qusra
The U.S. embassy promises an end to the Qusra siege within three days, as settlers surround homes and the UN reports thousands displaced this year.
- On Wednesday, Israeli authorities erected three new roadblocks at Ras al-Ain hill in the occupied West Bank village of Qusra, while the U.S. Embassy promised the siege would end within three days.
- Since August 9, settler and military forces have besieged three homes in the occupied West Bank, trapping residents including Palestinian-American Loui Ridi, who returned from Ohio to defend his property.
- Resident Abdel Hakim Wadi said the new gates block access to his land planted with more than 100 olive trees, which he has not reached since the siege began.
- Despite global condemnation and international calls for intervention, the siege persists with water and electricity cut off from the besieged homes in the West Bank village.
- The United Nations has recorded thousands of Palestinians displaced by access restrictions this year, while Israel maintains control of Area C, comprising more than 60 percent of the West Bank.
