美国驻以色列大使迈克·哈克比周六在访问约旦河西岸时，用通常用于描述巴勒斯坦激进分子的措辞，将以色列定居者的暴力行为称为"恐怖行为"和"恐怖分子"1。哈克比表示，定居者的行动包括纵火汽车、焚烧清真寺、入室破坏和涂鸦等1。他在图尔木斯·艾亚村访问了遭受数月攻击的巴勒斯坦美国居民1。
自2023年10月7日加沙战争开始以来，定居者针对巴勒斯坦人的暴力事件大幅增加1。哈克比表示，他很高兴定居者"承认"了他们的恐怖主义身份，并强调他们代表"非常小的少数派"1。以色列总理内塔尼亚胡谴责了这些行为，称其为"一小撮暴徒"的所为，以色列外交部称此类行为是"耻辱"1。据统计，约旦河西岸有约300万巴勒斯坦人，美国公民占很小比例1，而以色列在该地区建立了近150个定居点，居住着超过50万犹太定居者1。
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on Saturday denounced violent acts by Israeli settlers in the West Bank, characterizing their behavior as "terrorism" and describing perpetrators as "terrorists"—terminology typically reserved by US officials for Palestinian militant groups.1 Huckabee visited the Palestinian-American community in Turmus Ayya, which has endured months of attacks, and detailed settler actions including vehicle arson, mosque burning, home invasions, and vandalism.1
Settler violence has surged dramatically since the Gaza war began on October 7, 2023.1 In his remarks, Huckabee expressed satisfaction that settlers had effectively "acknowledged" their terrorist identity and characterized them as representing "a very small minority."1 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned what he called "a handful of hooligans" one week prior, with the Foreign Ministry describing settler conduct as "a disgrace."1 The West Bank is home to approximately three million Palestinians, with American citizens comprising only a small fraction of the population.1 Israel has established nearly 150 settlements in the territory, inhabited by more than 500,000 Jewish settlers.1
