U.S. Envoy Calls Settler Siege of Palestinian Home a 'Horrific Act of Terror'

The U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, has condemned a siege by Jewish settlers on the home of an American Palestinian family in the occupied West Bank, calling it a "horrific act of terror." The ambassador’s statement marks a rare, sharp rebuke of settler violence by a senior U.S. official. The family, who hold U.S. citizenship, are currently trapped inside their residence as the standoff continues.
