Netanyahu condemns settler pogroms as expansion agenda pushes on in the West Bank
A weekend wave of coordinated settler attacks in the West Bank injured Palestinians and damaged property, with police making few arrests despite video evidence. Netanyahu condemned the violence, but analysts say the government is using such incidents to isolate a violent fringe while continuing a broader project of settlement expansion that many view as undermining a future Palestinian state. Security briefings warn the unrest could provoke wider Palestinian anger, and international responses have largely been rhetorical as settlement activity and outposts expand.
