The US State Department reissues its previously employed vague statement in response to last night’s settler rampage in the Palestinian village of Jalud.
“We are aware of these reports and are in regular dialogue with partners about improving stability and security in the West Bank,” a US State Department spokesperson says.
“We condemn criminal violence by any party in the West Bank and support appropriate investigations, legal accountability and judicial processes for those responsible,” the spokesperson adds.
