Israeli ex-generals urge Trump to push Netanyahu on ‘settler terror’
Former Israeli military, diplomatic and intelligence officials have written to President Donald Trump urging him to press Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to curb settler violence in the occupied West Bank. The group, Commanders for Israel’s Security, argues that escalating “settler terror” poses serious security risks for Israel, the United States and the broader region. They request that Trump raise the issue during his upcoming meeting with Netanyahu in Washington.
- ▪Nearly 600 retired Israeli officials, including army colonels and generals, signed a letter to Trump asking him to intervene against settler violence.
- ▪The letter claims that only Trump can prevent a “calamity” of escalating violence that could threaten Israeli and U.S. regional interests.
- ▪The group warns that the rise in settler terror could have consequences even more catastrophic than the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack.
- ▪They ask Trump to discuss the issue with Netanyahu during his scheduled meeting at the White House.
