600 Former IDF Officers To Trump: ‘Settler Terrorism’ Could Be ‘More Catastrophic Than Hamas’
The retired officials said settler attacks are undermining Israeli security and could derail Trump’s regional diplomacy, including his Gaza plan and the Abraham Accords.
- On Sunday, nearly 600 former Israeli security officials urged President Donald Trump to pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop settler violence in the West Bank ahead of their Tuesday meeting.
- Members of Commanders for Israel's Security argued that settler violence and policies intended to "strangle the Palestinian Authority economically and otherwise" undermine Israeli security and obstruct diplomatic initiatives being advanced by Trump.
- The letter accused government ministers of protecting supporters described as "armed and driven by messianic impulses," effectively preventing law enforcement and placing security establishment heads in an impossible professional dilemma.
- Netanyahu is scheduled to meet Trump on Tuesday, with the former officials hoping the president delivers a "firm and unequivocal message" regarding the ongoing violence.
- Signatories warned that continued violence could damage American interests, shatter regional stability, jeopardize the expansion of the Abraham Accords, and produce consequences even more catastrophic than previous atrocities.
