US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the United States wants Israel to do more to deter attacks committed by settlers in the West Bank. Rubio made the remarks on Saturday, urging stronger steps to prevent further violence.
The outlets agree that Rubio’s comment reflects ongoing US concern about settler-related attacks. One report adds that the secretary of state’s statement comes after wider circulation of a video depicting Israeli settlers attacking an American photojournalist, highlighting the international attention such incidents draw. Overall, the coverage focuses on the US call for deterrence and enforcement measures, without detailing specific actions Israel has taken in response.
