WASHINGTON, July 15 (Reuters) - U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said on Tuesday he had asked Israel to "aggressively investigate" the killing of a Palestinian American who was beaten to death by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, describing it as a "criminal and terrorist act."
The comments by Huckabee, a staunch supporter of Israeli settlement construction, mark a rare and pointed public intervention by the U.S. following the death of a Palestinian American in the Israeli-occupied territory.
"I have asked (Israel) to aggressively investigate the murder of Saif Musallet, an American citizen who was visiting family in Sinjil when he was beaten to death," Huckabee wrote on X, referring to a town north of Ramallah.
