Palestinian-American Raises U.S. Flag over Besieged West Bank Home
- On Tuesday, Palestinian-American Loui Ridi confronted an Israeli settler who entered his property in Qusra, West Bank, despite flying a U.S. flag to deter militants besieging his home for over a week.
- Ridi hoisted the U.S. flag to signal the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, stating it provides "a form of security" and deterrence against settlers attempting to seize his property.
- In a rare rebuke, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee condemned the besieging settlers as "Israeli terrorists" on Thursday, calling their actions a "horrific mistake."
- White House officials are pressing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to publicly condemn the settlers' actions, though Netanyahu has not commented on the siege in Qusra.
- Around 500,000 Israelis live in the West Bank amid three million Palestinians, with rights groups warning this siege is part of a wider effort by settlers to seize Palestinian land.
