Suspects in West Bank settler attacks on US photojournalist and French mayor put under house arrest

Most suspects arrested for attacks on a U.S. journalist and a French mayor in the West Bank have been released to house arrest. Israeli police had detained ten individuals amid rising violence from settlers, but critics claim the arrests were merely for show. The attacks, which resulted in serious injuries to the journalist and the mayor, have sparked international outrage. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's response has been criticized for undermining Israel's reputation while trying to maintain support from his right-wing base ahead of elections.
