US diplomat in Huwara condemns settler violence, calls for ‘full accountability’

US Special Representative for Palestinian Affairs Hady Amr is visiting the Palestinian town of Huwara   in the northern West Bank to observe the extent of the damage caused by a deadly settler rampage.

Amr “expressed his deepest condolences and condemned the unacceptable widescale, indiscriminate violence by settlers” and is “extremely concerned by recent escalating violence in the West Bank,” his office says in a statement.

“We want to see full accountability and legal prosecution of those responsible for these heinous attacks and compensation for those who lost property or were otherwise affected,” adds the US Office of Palestinian Affairs.

A 37-year-old man was killed, 300 people were injured — four seriously — and dozens of vehicles and buildings were torched in the riot on Sunday night that followed the terror shooting of two Israeli brothers who were driving through the city’s main road.
