US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee characterized the attack by Israeli settlers on a Palestinian church in the West Bank as a “terrorist act.” During his visit to the Christian town of Taybeh, he witnessed firsthand the destruction caused by the perpetrators, who **not only attacked local residents but also set fire to a 5th-century church and caused damage to a cemetery.**
US Ambassador to Israel: “Those who commit terrorist and violent acts in Taybeh must be identified and prosecuted”
“It is a terrorist act. It is a crime,” the American ambassador stated characteristically, expressing his disgust at what he witnessed. “Those who commit terrorist and violent acts in Taybeh, or anywhere else, – must be identified and prosecuted. Not just reprimanded. That is not enough,” emphasized Mike Huckabee.
He had previously stated on Tuesday that he asked Israel to investigate the murder of a Palestinian American who was beaten by settlers in the West Bank, similarly characterizing it as a “criminal and terrorist act.”
