State Department spokesman Ned Price weighed in on the matter at his daily press briefing, highlighting the more than 100 Palestinians killed in the territory since the start of the year and saying that the US is “deeply concerned” by the matter.
He also noted the 30 Palestinians killed in Gaza thus far in 2022 along with the more than 20 Israelis and other civilians killed in Palestinian terror attacks on both sides of the Green Line.
This was not the first time the Biden administration has expressed concern regarding violence in the West Bank in recent weeks, but the decision to do so without priming at the top of the daily press briefing indicated the heightened seriousness with which the US is taking the matter.
“We call on all parties to do everything in their power to de-escalate the situation and return to a period of calm. This is in the interest of all Israelis and Palestinians. As we have said for some time, we call on the parties themselves to contain the violence,” Price continued. “The United States and other international partners stand ready to help but we cannot substitute for vital actions by the parties to mitigate conflict and to restore calm.” READ MORE
