Mike Huckabee visited Jerusalem while settlers attacked Palestinians and Israeli forces conducted raids and arrests across the territory, according to Al Jazeera English. The former U.S. presidential candidate's trip to the city coincided with a sharp escalation in confrontations in the occupied West Bank.
The incidents included multiple settler assaults on Palestinian communities, overnight operations by Israeli security forces targeting homes and individuals, and temporary movement restrictions affecting Palestinian towns and villages. Arrests were made during the raids, though specific numbers and locations were not immediately clear.
The violence and security operations reflected the broader cycle of tension between Israeli settlers, Palestinians, and Israeli military and police forces in disputed areas of the West Bank.
