Palestinians have accused the Israeli government of failing to take action against the settler attacks. At the United Nations, Palestinian Ambassador Riyad Mansour called for the Security Council to weigh in on the vandalism and the Israeli government’s ongoing expansion of settlements.

Riyad Mansour: “We want the Security Council to shoulder its responsibility with regard to all these violations, especially the violation of the continuation of the illegal activities of Israel in the settlement front. And we will see what will be the result of this consultation to collectively decide on what is possible. Our desire is obvious. We want the most effective reaction from the Security Council.”
