Israeli settlers besieged multiple homes in the occupied West Bank for several days, including one belonging to a Palestinian-American family, cutting off water, electricity, and essential supplies. U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee condemned the siege as a "horrific act of terror" and called the settlers "terrorists," marking an unusually sharp rebuke from the U.S. The Israeli military responded by moving to disperse the settlers, though some remained at the scene.
