US envoy Huckabee tells Israeli settlers not to take Palestinian Americans' land
Huckabee said settlers found to have taken part could face U.S. sanctions after a siege of homes in Qusra drew international condemnation.
- On Thursday, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee warned militant settlers against stealing property owned by Palestinian Americans, describing such actions as "a violation of God's law."
- Following an alleged attempt to seize land in Qusra that began August 9, Israeli settlers encircled homes owned by Palestinian Americans including Palestinian American Loui Ridi, drawing international condemnation.
- Huckabee, who last week denounced perpetrators as "Israeli terrorists," told Reuters the U.S. was "appalled" by the siege and warned participants could face U.S. sanctions including entry bans.
- While condemning the siege, Huckabee defended the broader settlement community, arguing violent settlers are a minority who "just want to raise their families in Judea and Samaria peacefully and with a level of security."
- Most countries and U.N. bodies consider Israeli settlements illegal under international law, yet Israeli police have announced no arrests regarding the siege and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not publicly commented.
