Balanced News: US urges Israel to hold settlers accountable for ‘vigilante violence’

The State Department urges Israel to hold settlers accountable for “vigilante violence” against Palestinians, which has resulted in several deaths. The unrest has continued apace, with a Palestinian motorist shot dead and dozens of homes set on fire by Israeli settlers. Netanyahu denies any commitments were made to halt settlement activity, and the UN Security Council is expected to hold an emergency session on Tuesday to address the bloodshed.
