The Biden administration called on Israel to pursue with 'equal rigor” the Israeli perpetrators of Sunday's rampage in the Palestinian town of Hawara as it does with Palestinians who carry out attacks against Israelis.

Israeli military and the Shin Bet intelligence agency officials have expressed concerns that the attack will lead to further escalation in the West Bank and possibly to a third intifada. “We condemn the wide scale and indiscriminate violence by settlers against Palestinians civilians…these actions are completely unacceptable," Price said.
He stressed that Israel needs to act with the same rigor regarding any act of violence, whether it is against Israelis or Palestinians, and invest the same resources to prevent these kinds of attacks and prosecute the perpetrators.Six Israeli settlers were arrested by the Israeli police for alleged involvement in the attack on Hawara, but all were released by the court.
