U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee condemned the rise in settler attacks against Palestinians in Judea and Samaria, saying in an interview with NewsNation that these are "acts of terror committed by thugs."
According to him, "It's a small group of angry young people. Many of them don't even live in the West Bank (Judea and Samaria)."
Regarding the F-35 jet sale deal to Saudi Arabia, he said: "Israel knows that the U.S. is committed to maintaining its military superiority, therefore the deal does not concern Israel."
