The US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, has denounced the settler attack that left Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine beaten and requiring surgery as a 'despicable act of terror,' while Benjamin Netanyahu faces growing international condemnation and a domestic political challenge days before elections.

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has condemned a 'vicious' and 'cowardly' attack by Israeli settlers on Palestinian villagers that left a Washington Post photographer seriously injured, with fractures to four vertebrae. The assault happened on Friday as villagers were collecting an olive harvest near Abu Falah, according to the Washington Examiner.
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has called for the prosecution and imprisonment of those who attacked American photojournalist Heidi Levine while she covered the olive harvest in the occupied West Bank, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggested Palestinians or far-left activists may have been behind the assault.
