Israeli President Isaac Herzog has urged the country's political leadership to take stronger action against what he termed "Jewish terror" and "nationalist crime" perpetrated by Jewish extremists against Palestinians in Judea and Samaria. Speaking during a visit to the IDF division headquarters in the region, Herzog stated that these violent acts undermine Israel's ability to function as a state, weakening its sovereignty and rule of law.
Herzog emphasized that as a democratic nation, Israel cannot allow individuals to take the law into their own hands. He warned that such actions damage the country's reputation and, importantly, harm settlement activities. "This cannot continue," Herzog declared, calling on political echelons to provide the necessary tools to halt and deter the violence.
He further asserted that these actions are "neither Jewish nor Israeli," and expressed gratitude to the IDF and security services for their ongoing efforts to combat terrorism in Judea and Samaria. The president's remarks highlight growing concerns within Israel about settler violence and its implications for national security and international standing.
