"Israel's security forces are clearly better able to protect Palestinian civilians in the West Bank, living under different levels of Israeli military and civil control, from Jewish terror. That they do not act decisively suggests a lack of directives from the government."
"The terror, death and destruction inflicted by Jewish-Israeli extremists against innocent Palestinians across the West Bank is an abomination. It is not only morally shameful but a strategic threat to the future of Israel."
"Sadly, based on events and on the statements of the most extreme coalition partners it can be concluded that the violence now engulfing the West Bank is not only condoned by the government but is in fact policy."
Leading members of the Jewish diaspora, including former British foreign secretary Malcolm Rifkind, are urging Israeli president Isaac Herzog to intervene against Jewish extremist violence towards Palestinians. An open letter, signed by over 3,000 individuals, highlights the failure of Israeli security forces to protect Palestinian civilians from attacks. The letter condemns the violence as morally shameful and a strategic threat to Israel's future, suggesting that the government condones this violence. Prominent UK signatories include former diplomats and philanthropists, emphasizing the urgency of the situation during the Jewish festival of Passover.
