LONDONUK Middle East Minister Stephen Doughty has condemned the ongoing wave of settler violence in the occupied West Bank

 

"I am horrified at the scenes we are seeing yet again in recent days in the West Bank and the shocking surge in settler violence," he said in a video statement on X.

 

"Settler violence and settler terrorism are appalling and must end," he said, calling on the Israeli government to prevent further anti-Palestinian violence.

 

Doughty's comments came on the back of international outrage at the besieging of Palestinians in the village of Qusra, where the Israeli military enabled a days-long siege of civilian homes by settler militants.   - (ANA) -
