Mike Huckabee, the U.S. ambassador to Israel, demanded “accountability for this criminal and terrorist act,” referring to the killing last week of Sayfollah Musallet in the occupied territories.

Saif Musallet, a dual national, was reportedly attacked while traveling near his village. Eyewitnesses said he was dragged from his vehicle and assaulted by a group of settlers. He died on the spot.

Meanwhile, Israel and Hamas appeared no closer to a breakthrough in talks meant to pause the 21-month war and free some Israeli hostages.
