Israeli president condemns ‘serious’ attack by settlers on West Bank villages

On November 12, 2025, masked Israeli settlers launched a violent attack on the Palestinian villages of Beit Lid and Deir Sharaf, injuring four Palestinians and assaulting Israeli soldiers. The settlers set vehicles ablaze and damaged property belonging to a Bedouin community, leaving behind charred remains. In a rare statement, Israeli President Isaac Herzog condemned this serious act of violence, emphasizing the need to address the escalating tensions and violence in the region. This incident is part of a broader pattern of settler violence that often goes unnoticed, raising concerns about the safety and rights of Palestinian communities. Herzog's condemnation reflects a growing recognition of the need for accountability and protection for vulnerable populations in the West Bank, highlighting the urgent need for dialogue and resolution in a long-standing conflict.
