Recent events in the West Bank have seen a significant rise in violence as Palestinians report that Israeli settlers have set fire to two mosques. This comes after deadly clashes in the area.
The United Nations has voiced concerns, stating that Israeli settlers are intensifying their attacks and expanding their presence in the West Bank. This region is crucial to Palestinians, who view it as part of their prospective state.
In contrast, Israeli authorities attribute the violence to Palestinian actions. This competing narrative adds further tension to the already volatile situation.
Producer Karl Bostic, alongside Nick Schifrin, has been covering these developments. Schifrin, serving as PBS News Hour’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Correspondent, also hosts Compass Points from PBS News.
