[Global Times reporter Liu Boyang] Foreign media including The Times of Israel reported on the 15th that the White House condemned violent acts such as "Israeli settlers burning cars in a village in the West Bank."

The Times of Israel reported that a spokesman for the White House National Security Council said in a statement to the media that "Israeli settlers' attacks on Palestinian civilians in the West Bank are unacceptable and must be stopped." "The Israeli government must take measures to protect all communities from destruction, including intervening and stopping such violence and holding all perpetrators accountable," the statement said.

According to Israel's Jerusalem Post on the 15th, in response to the above incident, Israeli Defense Minister Galant posted on social media X that he strongly condemns any form of violence and fully supports the Israel Defense Forces, police and relevant departments to take action to resolve this problem.
