Israeli settlers' attacks in the West Bank continue despite Netanyahu's 'energetic' condemnation

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General30 August 2026 at 15:32

Israeli settlers' attacks against Palestinians continued this Sunday in various points of the occupied West Bank, hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 'energetically' condemned the violence in the localities of Qusra and Jalud and called for the arrest of those responsible. The prime minister issued a statement repudiating the attacks, but these continued despite his public condemnation. In Qusra and Jalud, Palestinian villages suffered incursions by Israeli settlers that resulted in violence against local residents. Netanyahu called for security forces to arrest those responsible for the attacks, but the continuation of violence raises questions about the Israeli authorities' capacity or willingness to enforce the prime minister's orders. The situation in the occupied West Bank remains tense, with settlers continuing their actions against the Palestinian population even after the official condemnation by the Israeli government.
