US President Joe Biden criticised Israeli settlers attacking Palestinians in illegally occupied territory, during remarks made in Washington on Wednesday.
"I continue to be alarmed about extremist settlers attacking Palestinians in the West Bank," Biden said, accusing them of pouring gasoline on a fire. "They're attacking Palestinians in places that they're entitled to be."
Biden added that he believed Israel had the right to defend itself, while protecting civilians in Gaza.
