U.S. Presses Netanyahu to Condemn Settler Attacks in Qusra

U.S. officials are urging Netanyahu to denounce the assaults as rights groups say settlers are trying to seize more land and displace Palestinians.

  • Families in Qusra, a West Bank village, have faced deadly attacks from militant settlers for months, with homes under siege for nearly a week.
  • The United States urges Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to publicly condemn the militant settlers attacking Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
  • Marmar Ouda has installed metal fences and window bars around his home to protect his family from settler attacks after his nephew was shot and killed five months ago.
  • Israeli rights groups report that settlers act with near impunity under Israel’s far-right government, and over 2,200 Palestinians were displaced in 2026 due to settler violence and restrictions, according to United Nations data.
