Israeli ex-generals urge Trump to press Netanyahu on West Bank settler violence
Some 550 former Israeli officials, including retired generals, told US President Donald Trump that settler violence in the occupied West Bank endangers Israel's future. The group urged him to press Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to act.
Around 550 former Israeli officials, including retired generals, told President Donald Trump in a message that settler violence in the occupied West Bank endangers Israel's future. The group urged Trump to press Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to act on the issue.
Signatories of the message argued that settler violence threatens not only Palestinians but also Israel's long-term stability. The group described the issue as "settler terror" and said it warranted a stronger international response.
The appeal comes as the US administration continues its diplomatic efforts in the region. Neither Netanyahu's government nor the White House has issued an official response to the message so far.
