US Ambassador to Israel: Settlers' siege of Palestinian homes is terrorism

The US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, has strongly condemned the siege of several Palestinian families by Israeli settlers in the village of Qusra, near Nablus, in the occupied West Bank, describing the event as a "horrific act of terror."

The case has sparked strong reactions after settlers blocked access to Palestinian families' homes, cut off supplies and kept residents isolated for several days. Among those affected was a Palestinian-American family, which made the US ambassador's reaction even more direct.

According to reports from the field, settlers erected a structure near Palestinian homes and prevented families from moving around, cutting off their access to water, energy and food. Residents have reported facing threats, stone-throwing and attempts to force entry into their homes.

The Israeli army announced that it had dismantled two illegal settler checkpoints and detained one Israeli, but the situation in the area remains tense. Israeli troops clashed with settlers while trying to remove them, while some of them returned to the scene after the initial intervention.

Huckabee's statement is unusual in its tone, as the US ambassador has previously been known for his supportive stances towards Israeli settlers. However, in this case he described the siege of Palestinian families as terrorism and demanded that the perpetrators be held accountable.

The incident in Qusra comes at a time when settler violence in the West Bank has increased sharply. Palestinians and human rights organizations accuse Israeli authorities of failing to stop the expansion of illegal settlements and violence against Palestinian communities.

The siege of families in Qusra has once again drawn attention to a reality that often remains in the shadow of the war in Gaza: the daily pressure on Palestinians in the West Bank, where extremist settlers operate increasingly openly, while institutional accountability remains unclear.
