What happened

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on Wednesday called Israeli settler violence in the West Bank an 'act of terror,' condemning their actions. Huckabee said his visit was for the U.S. citizens 'who live in Turmusayya and other communities across this region' who are 'disturbed by people who have created extraordinary challenges that are unfair.'

Context

The characterization as terrorism—a term typically used for non-state violence against civilians—indicates serious concern about security and stability in communities across the West Bank.
