Overview

• Mike Huckabee urged Israeli authorities to thoroughly investigate the death of 20-year-old Saif Musalat, a US citizen beaten by settlers in Sindschil.
• The Palestinian Health Ministry reported that a second Palestinian was shot and died during the same clash.
• Musalat, born in Florida, had journeyed to visit relatives and protect family land from settlers who later allegedly blocked emergency medical aid.
• The Israeli army says the violence erupted after stone-throwing by Palestinians injured two settlers.
• Huckabee’s demand deepens diplomatic strains over settler violence, following Biden-era sanctions and their rollback under President Trump.
