US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee called on Israel to “aggressively investigate” the killing of Saif Musallet, a 20-year-old Palestinian-American man, whose family alleges was beaten to death on Friday by Israeli settlers in the West Bank…“This is an unimaginable nightmare and injustice that no family should ever have to face,” the family of Sayafollah Musallet, also known as Saif, said in a statement. “We demand the US State Department lead an immediate investigation and hold the Israeli settlers who killed Saif accountable for their crimes.” According to his family and the Palestinian Health Ministry, Musallet had come from his home in Florida to the town of al-Mazra’a ash-Sharqiya to visit relatives and was severely beaten while protecting his family’s land in the town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah. Another man, Hussein al-Shalabi, 23, was fatally shot in the chest. READ MORE
