US Ambassador Huckabee Calls Settler Siege of Palestinian Homes 'Terror'

In mid-August 2026, the US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, sharply condemned a siege of Palestinian homes in the West Bank by Israeli settlers, calling it a 'horrific act of terror.' His remarks marked a rare public rebuke of settler violence by a senior US official, and he said Washington was 'very' involved in efforts to end the siege.
