Today, Democratic Majority for Israel President & CEO Brian Romick released the following statement:
“We agree with Israeli President Herzog and Israeli military officials’ forceful condemnation of the escalating settler violence in the West Bank that injured Palestinians and IDF soldiers. We are encouraged that the Israeli police have already made some arrests. The perpetrators must be held accountable.
“As Secretary of State Rubio said, there is ‘concern’ that this violence could undermine the already fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
“It’s critical that American leaders do everything they can to help ensure these settler attacks stop and the ceasefire remains intact.”
