US Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed concerns that ongoing settler violence in the West Bank could jeopardize efforts to maintain the ceasefire in Gaza. While Rubio acknowledged the risk of these events spilling over, he emphasized his hope that the violence would not undermine the ceasefire and noted recent condemnations from President Isaac Herzog and senior military commanders.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition have remained silent on the issue, drawing criticism from opponents who accuse the government of tacitly supporting the attacks. Rubio's remarks represent a rare intervention by the administration of US President Donald Trump on settler violence, following Trump's decision to end sanctions against extremist settlers on his first day in office.
