Israeli Leaders Face Legal Pressure Over Escalating West Bank Settler Violence
June 26, 2026
Dozens of Israel’s own former power-brokers just put their names on a letter accusing their own government of enabling terrorism.
Two former prime ministers — Ehud Olmert and Ehud Barak. Former heads of the security services. Former military chiefs of staff. Former judges. A Nobel laureate. The novelist David Grossman. Ten Israel Prize winners.
All signing onto one line: settler and military violence against Palestinians in the West Bank isn’t a few rogue actors, it’s being protected from the top.
They are not activists or outsiders. They’re the architects of the system now, warning that the Israeli foundations has been hijacked and is going downhill. And because they didn’t just say “stop the violence,” they compared what’s happening to the pogroms their own ancestors fled.
When the people who built a state’s security apparatus say it’s been weaponized for ethnic cleansing, that should alarm anyone who claims this is ”complicated” to term Israeli mayhem a genocide.
When the people who built the house say it’s on fire, you don’t get to call the smoke a rumor.
And that tells you everything you need to know.
