Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday broke his silence over a wave of extremist settler attacks in the West Bank, condemning the violence but portraying those responsible as only a “handful of rioters” rather than addressing broader criticism of his government’s handling of settler violence. Netanyahu spoke after dozens of Israeli settlers attacked the Palestinian village of Qusra, throwing stones and taking over a Palestinian home while residents were inside. Israeli forces were sent to the scene, but no arrests of settlers were reported by late Saturday.
