Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog issued condemnations of settler attacks in the West Bank, Shehab Wire reported. The statements appeared timed to contain escalating international anger over violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the occupied territory.
The moves marked an attempt to absorb mounting diplomatic pressure from abroad. International criticism has intensified as settler assaults on Palestinians in the West Bank continue. The dual condemnations came as global concern over the attacks grew more pronounced, with both senior Israeli officials moving quickly to distance the government from the violence.
