Israel's prime minister has met with top security officials to assess a rising tide of Israeli settler violence in the West Bank. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces increasing U.S. pressure to halt the flare-up that could undermine Washington's peace plan for Gaza. An Israeli official said Friday Netanyahu convened his security cabinet to discuss the recent spike in violence. The meeting took place as fresh allegations surface of Israeli settlers hurling rocks from an overpass at Palestinian vehicles passing below while a scrapyard was set ablaze in the West Bank village of Huwara. Washington is hoping Israel can contain the rising settler violence to avoid jeopardizing the U.N. Security Council-approved U.S. plan for Gaza.
