In a significant statement today, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio cautioned that rising violence from Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank poses a risk to American initiatives aimed at stabilizing a ceasefire in Gaza.
These remarks follow a series of violent incidents, including the arson of a mosque in the West Bank, repeated incursions at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and attacks on Palestinian land and property.
Israeli officials described this surge in violence as a "record level" of what is termed "Jewish terrorism," a phrase used to refer to settler violence against Palestinians.
Rubio emphasized that the continuation of these attacks undermines trust in any potential security or political arrangements that could be established in Gaza, complicating Washington's efforts to facilitate a lasting de-escalation.
These warnings come as international pressure on Israel increases, with the European Union and the United Nations calling for accountability and an end to the impunity that fuels tensions in the West Bank.
