Families Trapped in West Bank Siege | Dublin News

Three Palestinian families are trapped in their homes near Qusra in the West Bank, besieged by settlers who’ve cut off water and food — one father and son survive on well water as tents rise outside. The siege is part of a broader surge in settler violence, with even U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee labeling settlers “terrorists” — a rare rebuke from Washington. Despite Israeli military condemnations, detentions, and claims of supplying essentials, settlers keep returning, reblocking access and cutting utilities. Rights groups accuse Israeli forces of turning a blind eye or even protecting settlers. Amid an Israeli government aggressively expanding settlements and rejecting Palestinian statehood, these families remain locked inside their own homes, caught in a cycle of occupation and defiance.
