US envoy Huckabee tells Israeli settlers not to take Palestinian Americans' land
Huckabee said settlers found to have taken part could face U.S. sanctions after a siege of homes in Qusra drew international condemnation.
- On Thursday, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee warned militant settlers against stealing property owned by Palestinian Americans, describing such actions as "a violation of God's law."
- Tensions escalated after Israeli settlers began encircling homes in Qusra on August 9 in an alleged attempt to seize privately owned Palestinian land, drawing international condemnation.
- Huckabee, who last week denounced the perpetrators as "Israeli terrorists," said the U.S. was "appalled" and warned that settlers involved could face U.S. sanctions including entry bans.
- While condemning the siege, Huckabee defended the wider settlement community, arguing violent settlers are a minority who "just want to raise their families in Judea and Samaria peacefully and with a level of security."
- Most countries and U.N. bodies consider Israeli settlements illegal under international law, yet Israeli police have announced no arrests regarding the siege and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not publicly commented.
