Israel has been escalating violence against Palestinians in the West Bank, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu complains about US sanctions on Jewish settlers in the occupied territory.
The US announced new sanctions on Israeli settlers in the West Bank, urging Israel to fight against these extremist groups accused of fueling violence against Palestinians in the territory.
The Israeli army admitted to failing to prevent a settler attack on a Palestinian village in mid-August, which left one dead, causing international protests.
The violence in the West Bank has increased during the Gaza conflict, with the largest Israeli military operation in a decade resulting in casualties in several cities.
