A rebuke from Huckabee — a friend of Israel who has said, before taking office, that Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) should be annexed by the Jewish state — will draw attention from the Israeli government, which has been flummoxed by a recent outbreak of violence between Jewish settlers and a Palestinian Christian village.
There has long been an extremist fringe among Jews in Judea and Samaria — the so-called “hilltop youth,” who often start illegal settlements, confront Palestinian farmers, and clash with the Israeli military. Some refuse to acknowledge the Israeli flag or the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) as legitimate.
They are arrested and sometimes prosecuted, but Israeli officials are often reluctant to pursue them because of the degree to which the rest of Israeli society feels embattled by the overall conflict with the Palestinians and Islamic terror.
