The US ambassador to Israel, a staunch supporter of West Bank settlements, on Thursday denounced as "terror" a siege by settlers against Palestinian homes, including one owned by a US citizen.
"Actions by those who carried out this horrific act of terror meant to intimidate and harass this family are disgusting," Mike Huckabee wrote on X. "No excuse for such thuggish behaviour."
