Huckabee condemns 'horrific terror' against Palestinians in West Bank, says embassy 'very involved'

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has strongly condemned the harassment of a Palestinian family in the West Bank village of Qusra, labeling those responsible as 'Israeli terrorists.' In a public statement on X/Twitter, Huckabee directly refuted claims that US officials had failed to act on the matter.

“

This is another lie. The embassy has been VERY involved, and the IDF and Israel Police have gone at our request to remove the Israeli terrorists doing this.

'This is another lie,' Huckabee wrote, emphasizing the embassy's significant involvement. 'The embassy has been VERY involved, and the IDF and Israel Police have gone at our request to remove the Israeli terrorists doing this.' He asserted that the actions targeting the family's home are criminal.

Huckabee also clarified that the White House has been kept informed about the situation, stating, 'The WH hasn’t 'intervened' because we have kept DC apprised of the situation already.' This statement aims to counter narratives suggesting a lack of US engagement or response to the incident.

“

The actions of those doing this to this family’s home are criminal.

The ambassador's firm stance underscores the US Embassy's role in addressing such incidents in the West Bank and highlights the diplomatic efforts to manage tensions. The condemnation of the perpetrators as 'terrorists' signals a particularly strong denunciation of the violence and harassment directed at the Palestinian family.
