Minister of Agriculture Yair Shamir has called on the Israeli government to take decisive action against settler violence, describing it as "terrorism that cannot continue." The statement comes amid ongoing concerns about escalating violence perpetrated by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank.

Shamir's remarks highlight a growing internal debate within Israel regarding the conduct of some settlers and the government's response. The article implies that this violence is a significant issue that requires immediate attention and intervention from the authorities. The minister's strong wording suggests a recognition of the severity and potentially criminal nature of these acts.

While the article does not detail specific incidents, it frames settler violence as a form of terrorism that the government must actively combat. This call to action underscores the complex security and political challenges facing Israel, particularly in the West Bank, and the internal pressures on the government to address these issues.
