The Israel Defense Forces has ousted a reservist who prayed with settlers during their siege of Qusra, while no arrests have been made in connection with the attack.
The dispute also reaches Israel’s proposed changes to law enforcement in the West Bank. The police chief instructed officers not to cooperate with Itamar Ben-Gvir’s plan to give the army responsibility for civilian policing there.
An activist who returned home after Israel deported him said settler violence was supported by the Israeli state. The developments put the reservist’s conduct, the lack of arrests in Qusra, and the proposed transfer of policing authority in the same spotlight.
