Netanyahu casts doubt on settler attack accounts as photographer details injuries

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu downplayed accounts of extremist attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank during the olive harvest, after US Ambassador Mike Huckabee had demanded investigation into the beating of a Washington Post photojournalist. The photographer said she suffered several broken vertebrae and that Israel's military appears to protect settlers more than Palestinians. US officials visited a Palestinian village following the attacks, which also included an assault on European diplomats.
