Occupied West Bank: US Ambassador Mike Huckabee denounces the "thuggish behavior" of settlers
Auto-translated to English. Show original
According to the ambassador, Israel intervened at the request of the United States, even though Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have repeatedly shown their disagreements in recent months.
The remarks made by the American ambassador are unusual. This Christian evangelical pastor has in the past repeatedly supported Jewish settlements in the West Bank, and rejected the idea of a Palestinian state.
One cannot "pass off Ambassador Huckabee as a leftist, he who is the greatest friend of colonization in the United States," commented Oded Revivi, the former mayor of Efrat, a settlement near Jerusalem considered rather moderate.
The office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has demanded that the Israeli authorities "respect their obligations under the law of occupation, in order to ensure the safety of the local Palestinian population."
