Huckabee calls settler siege of Palestinian American home terrorism
US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said the siege by Israeli settlers on the home of Palestinian American Louay Abu Rida in the village of Qusra in the West Bank is unacceptable terrorist behavior. Abu Rida, who returned from the United States to his town of Qusra, called on Washington to protect him and to remove the Israeli settlers from homes that have been besieged for 10 days. The United Nations said the settlers are besieging about 15 Palestinians, including two children, inside their homes in Qusra without water or electricity.
