Israel frees suspects in two settler attacks as West Bank pogroms intensify
Israeli court releases nine settler suspects over West Bank attacks as investigations into recent assaults continue.
Israel has released nine of the 10 Israeli settler suspects arrested over attacks on a US journalist and European diplomats in the occupied West Bank, placing them under house arrest.
An Israeli court in Jerusalem ordered the release late on Wednesday, according to Honenu, a law firm that represents Israeli settlers.
Israeli police said one suspect remained in custody and that the investigation into the violent incidents was continuing.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a post on X Thursday that the situation in the occupied Palestinian territory was “out of control”, with Palestinians continuing “to suffer daily attacks by Israeli settlers” and journalists and diplomats also being attacked.
