Kan News reports that the US Embassy in Israel expressed anger, and IDF forces were required to evacuate a house in a Palestinian village in the Ramallah area. The revelation follows an earlier report of an IDF evacuation from a building in Turmus Ayya after US embassy pressure.
Kan News revealed Tuesday evening that the US Embassy in Israel was angered, leading to the IDF being required to evacuate a house in a Palestinian village in the Ramallah area. The specific village was not named in the Kan report. As The Zioneer reported earlier this evening, the IDF had vacated a building in Turmus Ayya—a village north of Ramallah—that had been used as a temporary position, following a protest from the US embassy over the building's ownership by a US citizen family. The new Kan report corroborates the pressure from the embassy and adds the detail that the embassy was 'angry' (zame'a). The incident underscores the diplomatic sensitivity of IDF operations in areas where US citizens hold property.
