RAMALLAH, West Bank, July 19 (Reuters) - U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee called on Saturday for the perpetrators of an attack on a Palestinian church in the occupied West Bank blamed on Israeli settlers to be prosecuted, calling it an "act of terror".
Huckabee said he had visited the Christian town of Taybeh, where clerics said Israeli settlers had started a fire near a cemetery and a 5th-century church on July 8.

"It is an act of terror, and it is a crime," Huckabee said in a statement, "Those who carry out acts of terror and violence in Taybeh – or anywhere – (should) be found and be prosecuted. Not just reprimanded, that’s not enough."

Israel's government has not commented on the incident, but has previously denounced such acts.
On Tuesday, Huckabee said he had asked Israel to "aggressively investigate" the killing of a Palestinian American beaten by settlers in the West Bank, similarly describing it as a "criminal and terrorist act".
Huckabee is a staunch supporter of Israeli settlements and his comments are a rare and pointed public intervention by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump.
Trump in January rescinded sanctions imposed by the former Biden administration on Israeli settler groups and individuals accused of being involved in violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.

Settler attacks on Palestinians and Palestinian attacks on Israelis in the West Bank have risen since the start of Israel's war on the Hamas militant group in Gaza in October 2023, though violence has long simmered there.
The United Nations' highest court said last year that Israel's settlements in territories it captured in the 1967 Middle East war, including the West Bank, were illegal.
Israel disputes this, citing biblical and historical ties to the land as well as security needs.

This madness has to stop if USA is the symbol of Christianity all over the world right now and support Israel that has Christianity root and history but they have to this to Christians then what is the justification? We Christians must know and note that the God of Israel as mentioned before is not the God of Christianity and Jesus said he came to safe the world not Israel! Israel madness must be curtail and cure and the only antidote to this is USA. What madness is this? if this is just the first time Israel is doing this to Christians how much then will you feel for the Muslims through Palestine who has been under their terror close to two years now?

The attack on the church is unacceptable and unjustifiable.

The ones that called themselves Jews here in Nigeria will come and defend their masters actions

The perpetrator must be brought to book

Oh it's not a Mosque, this time.

America can speak out now because the terrorists Zionists burnt a church. But they have been helping lunatic Satanyahu to carpet bomb Gaza.

It was the Arabs in samaria that burn the church and got nothing to do with the jews...

You people just be posting fake and unverified news as long as it would put the jews in bad light..

Investigation has been done and those who did it known....
