- US Ambassador Mike Huckabee demanded 'Israeli' authorities prosecute and jail settlers who attacked an US Washington Post photographer.
- Huckabee denounced the assault as a "despicable act of terror carried out by masked cowards," marking an extraordinarily strong official stance.
- The ambassador's explicit characterization and direct calls for imprisonment reflect a notably tougher position than earlier Washington statements.
US Ambassador to 'Israel' Mike Huckabee on Saturday demanded that 'Israeli' authorities prosecute and imprison the assailants responsible for a settler attack targeting an American female photographer working for The Washington Post.
In a statement posted on X, Ambassador Huckabee strongly condemned the assault and called for immediate judicial accountability for those involved.
"Attacking a female photographer is a despicable act of terror carried out by masked cowards," Huckabee wrote, taking a far stronger rhetorical tone and a more direct line than an earlier statement issued by Washington regarding the incident.
Ambassador Huckabee’s public condemnation reflects heightened US scrutiny over masked settler violence in the occupied West Bank, specifically targeting members of the press.
By labeling the assault an "act of terror" and explicitly demanding jail sentences, the ambassador’s comments place direct pressure on 'Israeli' law enforcement and judicial authorities to apprehend the masked perpetrators and hold them accountable under criminal law.
