Even the United States is now criticising Israel's ongoing settler violence in the West Bank as Benjamin Netanyahu, once the "Trump whisperer", becomes the Trump ignorer.

An IDF soldier was filmed allegedly beating a Palestinian man in the West Bank village of Idna, according to Army Radio. Israeli forces were deployed to the area after reports of clashes between Israelis and Palestinians, with Israeli residents allegedly attacking Palestinians by smashing car windows and surrounding people praying at a mosque. The incident occurred amid heightened tensions following a previous attack where a terrorist shot Israeli hikers in July 2026. The IDF confirmed the soldier's actions are under investigation, though no official statement has been made regarding accountability. Additional footage showed two civilians also attacking the Palestinian during the confrontation. Earlier reports indicated four Palestinians were wounded near Susya, with allegations of settler violence and gunfire into the air. While Israeli sources have not verified these claims, the IDF has opened an investigation. The incident follows a significant escalation in violence, prompting the military to increase its West Bank troop deployment to 26 battalions under Prime Minister Netanyahu's orders. Security forces arrested over 70 suspects following Friday’s deadly shooting near Gilad Farm, highlighting ongoing tensions between Israeli settlers and Palestinians.

Violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank has surged since the Gaza war began.
