Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has called for "wiping out" the Palestinian town of Huwara in the West Bank. Smotrich, an ultra-nationalist who is also in charge of West Bank settlement development, told a conference held by business daily TheMarker on Wednesday: "I think the village of Huwara needs to be wiped out. I think the State of Israel has to do this – for God's sake no private individuals.”
A suspected Palestinian assassin shot dead two Israeli brothers in the town south of Nablus on Sunday. After that, Israeli settlers rioted near the scene of the crime, injuring hundreds of Palestinians. Dozens of houses, shops and cars were also set on fire.
According to estimates by the Central Palestinian Bureau of Statistics, around 7,400 Palestinians live in Huwara. A central connecting road runs through the small town, which is also used daily by many Israeli settlers in the northern West Bank.
The US criticized the call to "wipe out" the small town. Smotrich's comments were irresponsible, disgusting and a call for violence, said Ned Price, spokesman for the US State Department, in Washington on Wednesday.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must publicly distance himself from this. Price added that just as the US "condemns Palestinian incitement to violence, we also condemn these provocative statements, which also amount to incitement to violence."
Since the beginning of the year, 13 Israelis and one Ukrainian have been killed in Palestinian attacks. In the same period, 63 Palestinians lost their lives - they were killed, for example, in confrontations with the Israeli army or in their own attacks. Israel conquered the West Bank and East Jerusalem in 1967. More than 600,000 Israeli settlers live there today. The Palestinians claim the territories for their own state.
