US EditionNetanyahu convenes cabinet on settler violence in the West Bank that continues unabated
Nearly 3,000 settler attacks occurred in the West Bank this year amid tensions from new settlements and land expropriations, officials said at the security meeting.
- On Friday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Israel Defense Forces, Shin Bet domestic security service and Israeli police leaders to review a rising tide of settler violence after alleged attacks in Huwara, West Bank.
- During the Palestinian olive harvest season, settler attacks surged, compounded by celebrations for an unauthorized outpost near Bethlehem and plans to expropriate around 1,800 dunams at Sebastia.
- U.N. humanitarian office figures show 2,920 settler attacks this year, while Palestinian medics reported one man killed and four wounded, and the Palestinian Health Ministry said two youths aged 18 and 16 were killed overnight.
- Netanyahu called the perpetrators `a handful of extremists` and urged police action, while rights groups said attacks are a daily phenomenon, and Singapore sanctioned Meir Ettinger, Elisha Yered, Ben-Zion Gopstein, and Baruch Marzel Friday.
- An Israeli official said there would be a follow-up meeting as the Israeli investigation unit of soldiers and border police collected evidence at the scorched scrapyard Friday, with no suspects found by the army.
