US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan spoke with Israeli National Security Advisor Tzachi Hanegbi and expressed deep concern over the recent extremist settler attacks against Palestinian civilians and the destruction of their property in the West Bank. The US National Security Advisor reiterated during a telephone call made on June 23 the importance of holding accountable those responsible for such acts of violence. Sullivan encouraged additional steps to restore calm and de-escalate tensions and called on all parties to refrain from unilateral actions, including settlement activity, that further inflame tensions. Sullivan conveyed the United States’ hope that the parties build on the commitments made during talks at Aqaba, Jordan, and Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, and reconvene soon.
