The Palestinian Authority says that US President Donald Trump’s lifting of sanctions on Israeli settlers in the West Bank will incite violence against Palestinians.

“Lifting sanctions on extremist settlers encourages them to commit more crimes against our people,” the Palestinian ministry of foreign affairs says in a statement, pointing to overnight attacks by Israeli settlers throughout the West Bank that left 21 Palestinians injured.
