'Settler Riots' in West Bank After Trump Revokes Sanction, US Prez Doubts Gaza Ceasefire Will Hold

US President Donald Trump cancelled an executive order that enabled sanctions against Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank. An initial IDF probe into a Jan. 20 settler attack on two West Bank Palestinian villages found that dozens of assailants were involved. The probe found that “dozens of Israeli civilians, some of them masked, arrived at night al-Funduq area… set fire to property and caused damage”. Meanwhile, Trump said he is not confident a ceasefire deal in Gaza would hold, despite claiming that his diplomacy secured the agreement ahead of his inauguration. n18oc_world n18oc_crux
