"US Labels Israeli Patrolman Shooting and Palestinian Youth Incident as Terror Attacks"

The Biden administration condemned both the shooting of an Israeli patrolman in Tel Aviv and the killing of a Palestinian by Israeli settlers as "terror attacks," indicating that Washington placed the attacks on equal footing. The State Department expressed condolences to the victims' families and called for an end to violence and incitement. The tweet came amid frustration over Israel's failure to address settler violence, which has gone largely unchecked. The shooting in Tel Aviv occurred during a string of Palestinian terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank, contributing to heightened tensions in the region.
