TOP News Brief
Zeteo convened a town hall featuring analysts and Palestinian rights advocates to examine what they described as "settler terror" in the occupied West Bank, drawing parallels to the destruction in Gaza. Panelists including Diana Buttu and Fadi Quran discussed U.S.-funded Israeli settlements, patterns of sexual violence against Palestinian women, and what they characterized as Israeli impunity across both Democratic and Republican administrations.
The discussion addressed how settlement expansion and settler violence operate alongside military occupation, with speakers warning that conditions in the West Bank may escalate toward Gaza-level violence. Participants examined the role of U.S. funding in supporting settlements and questioned accountability mechanisms under both Biden and Trump administrations.
