US EditionTrump envoy demands Israel action on killing of American
SINJIL, WEST BANK, JUL 15 – US Ambassador Mike Huckabee called the killing a "criminal and terrorist act" and urged Israel to investigate amid a 13% rise in settler attacks on Palestinians this year, rights groups say.
- On July 15, 2025, Mike Huckabee, the United States' diplomatic representative in Israel, called on Israeli officials to thoroughly investigate the death of 20-year-old American Sayafollah Musallet, who was fatally assaulted in Sinjil, located in the West Bank.
- The attack occurred on July 11 amid rising settler violence since Israel’s late 2023 war against Hamas, and Musallet was reportedly defending his family’s land from settlers.
- Three individuals, including an IDF reservist believed to have discharged a weapon, were taken into custody related to the Sinjil clashes; however, none face charges or detention linked to the fatalities.
- Huckabee called for those responsible for this violent and terror-related act to be held responsible, while the U.S. State Department emphasized that safeguarding Americans overseas remains a top priority and continues to provide consular assistance.
