American organizations have called on members of Congress to intervene and hold Israel accountable, urging them to pressure Israel to halt settler attacks on whose homes have been besieged in the town of Qusra, south of Nablus.
Human rights organizations have launched a campaign to encourage Americans to contact their representatives in Congress and demand action against colonists involved in violence and land confiscation.
Among those affected is Louay Abu Rida, a US citizen and business owner from Ohio, returned to the West Bank after monitoring security camera footage of his home being surrounded, where his brother and nephew were inside.
The human rights organizations stated that the situation in Qusra is not an isolated incident, but rather part of an escalating colonist violence and settlement expansion in the West Bank. They called on the U.S. administration and Congress to take concrete steps to stop the attacks and protect Palestinians, including U.S. citizens.
Israeli settlers have continued to siege three Palestinian homes in Qusra for the third week in a row.
The occupation continues to impose the siege on the town, while simultaneously tightening restrictions on the Jabal Ras al-Ain area and closing the roads leading to it, exacerbating the suffering of the residents and restricting their movement.
