US remarks unedited…

The United States remains opposed to proposals to annex the West Bank or construct Israeli settlements in Gaza – which, if implemented, would be inconsistent with international law, sow the seeds of further instability, and create new obstacles to Israel’s full integration into the region.

We are also deeply concerned by increasing extremist settler violence in the West Bank.

Recent incidents include those in Jurat Al Khiel, near Hebron, where Palestinians were attacked by scores of extremist settlers who damaged property, assaulted civilians, and released dogs to attack residents.

In the Palestinian village of Jalud, south of Nablus, dozens of extremist settlers reportedly killed livestock, attacked homes, and set fire to vehicles.
