US envoy's tweet on West Bank deaths sparks Israeli protest.

US Ambassador to Israel, Tom Nides, faced criticism from Israeli lawmakers after his initial statement on the terror shooting in the West Bank drew a false equivalency between the victims of the attack in Eli and Palestinians killed in clashes with IDF troops. Nides later issued a stronger condemnation of the attack, which left four Israelis dead and four injured. The attack followed an IDF raid in Jenin, which resulted in the deaths of six Palestinians and sparked condemnation from Arab countries and Western allies.
