US Voices Concern Over Rising Violence Against Palestinians in West Bank
Rubio said, “We're concerned about that, and we've expressed that concern. And I think there's concern in the Israeli government about it as well,” while noting that some attacks have also targeted Israeli security personnel. “I think you'll see the government there do something about it,” he added.
He further stressed, “The president has expressed very clearly that he's against any sort of change in the status quo in the West Bank. Obviously, there's a lot going on in the world right now, but that is a topic we are following very closely.”
According to reports, the US is maintaining “regular dialogue” with both the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority to help stabilize the situation in the West Bank. Recent weeks have seen a surge in attacks, with eight Palestinians reportedly killed by Israeli gunfire since late February, as stated by the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission.
