Shafaqna English- For over a week, Israeli settlers have surrounded three Palestinian families in their homes in Qusra, south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, cutting them off from essential supplies and emergency services.
Settlers used the same tactic just last month to force the al-Tubassi family from their home in Jalud. This time, however, with one of the besieged Qusra homes belonging to a Palestinian American, the siege has become front-page news.
The United Nations, France, Spain, and the United Kingdom have issued condemnations, and the White House was reported to be pressing Netanyahu to publicly denounce settler violence.
