The United States has urged Israel to conduct a thorough investigation following an attack on a journalist covering violence in the West Bank.
The incident occurred during recent unrest involving the Palestinian olive harvest in the occupied West Bank. Reports indicate that an American journalist was hospitalized following the attack, which also involved Israeli settlers targeting olive trees and journalists.
Amid widespread condemnations of violence in the region—including separate incidents involving attacks on European diplomats—US officials emphasized the need for accountability and a formal inquiry into the actions taken against members of the press.
