U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has cautioned Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank against seizing property owned by Palestinian Americans, firmly stating it breaches both legal and moral principles. In an interview with Reuters, Huckabee framed the act as “a violation of God’s law,” signaling a strong stance despite his long-held support for Israeli settlements. The warning specifically addressed settler involvement in the siege of homes in the West Bank village of Qusra, including property owned by Palestinian American Loui Ridi. Huckabee indicated that individuals found to have participated in such actions could face U.S. sanctions. This marks a significant step by the U.S. to protect the property rights of Palestinian Americans in the region. The statement underscores growing U.S. concern over escalating settler violence and land grabs in the West Bank.
