Netanyahu casts doubt on settler attack on US photographer in West Bank

Israeli PM's office questioned the account of a violent attack by ~50 settlers that hospitalized Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine in the West Bank, while opposition politicians called the perpetrators 'Jewish terrorists.' The incident highlights escalating settler violence and a political rift over accountability; the PM's skepticism may signal official tolerance or an attempt to downplay the event.

West Bank Settler Violence Escalates, US Journalist Attacked

Israeli settler violence in the West Bank has escalated, marked by a coordinated attack and the severe beating of US photojournalist Heidi Levine. While the US has condemned the attack and called for accountability, Israeli PM Netanyahu has initiated a probe but refrained from condemnation, and his office has questioned the incident's facts. The targeting of a US journalist and the increasing frequency of attacks during the olive harvest season indicate a deteriorating security situation and potential diplomatic strain.
