Netanyahu Condemns Settler Violence in West Bank

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday condemned a wave of settler violence in the occupied West Bank, describing the perpetrators as a "handful of rioters" after dozens of Israeli settlers attacked the Palestinian village of Qusra and a nearby village, injuring residents and a foreign media crew. The attacks have drawn renewed criticism of Netanyahu's government and its handling of settler violence. The violence erupted in Qusra, south of Nablus, where settlers threw stones at Palestinian homes and barricaded themselves inside a house while residents were trapped inside. Israeli forces were deployed to the scene, separating the groups and confiscating vehicles.
