Netanyahu Condemns Settler Violence, Urges Biden to Address Issue

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a rare condemnation of settler violence in the West Bank, stating that such actions would not be tolerated and that the Israeli government would take action against those responsible. This statement came after Netanyahu's meeting with settler leaders and his conversation with US President Joe Biden, who emphasized the need to hold extremist settlers accountable for their violent acts against Palestinians. Netanyahu also emphasized that these Jewish extremists represent only a small fraction of the overall Israeli population and do not reflect the views of the majority. The attacks have further escalated tensions in the already volatile situation in the West Bank.
