UK minister "condemns" Israeli settler violence in West Bank

British MP Stephen Doughty expresses outrage over reports of Israeli settler violence against Palestinians in Qusra in the occupied West Bank.

In a post on X, the UK minister of state for MENA, Afghanistan and Pakistan said he was “appalled” by the reports, adding that “civilians must be protected” and “perpetrators held to account”.

He called for international law to be upheld, adding that Israeli “settlements are illegal under international law and undermine the viability of a two-state solution”.

Israeli settlers had besieged three Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank village of Qusra south of Nablus for multiple days, cutting off water and electricity, blocking access roads and restricting essential supplies.

 Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz praised the radical religious Zionist group, the Hilltop Youth settlers, for ‘holding onto’ occupied Palestinian land.

Israeli settlers have moved into Ganim, an illegal West Bank settlement dismantled by Israel in 2005.
