Summary
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee condemned the beating of a Washington Post photojournalist by Israeli settlers in the West Bank on Friday, calling it "vicious" and "cowardly" and demanding a "full investigation, arrest and prosecution." The attack followed a Saturday incident in which masked settlers attacked European diplomats near Taybeh, breaking a diplomatic vehicle's window. Israel's military condemned the violence; the prime minister's office called reporting on it a "smear" campaign.
