Palestinian American challenges Israeli army outside his home in the West Bank

Israeli settlers have planted vines in neat rows, erected fences festooned with flags and brought in herds of goats.

Palestinian-American Loui Ridi was interviewed in his family’s besieged home, expressing distress over how illegal Israeli settlers have roamed around Qusra unchallenged while taking over his neighbour’s house.

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee referred to the settlers behind the unrest as "terrorists" last week in a stinging rebuke.

Loui Ridi reached his West Bank home on Monday, more than a week after it came under siege by Israeli settlers — only to find settlers still roaming freely.
