Netanyahu calls violent settlers attacking Palestinians 'a handful of kids'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday said that violent settlers who attack Palestinians were only “a handful of kids” who are not from the West Bank. 

In an interview with Fox News, Netanyahu said, “When they’re talking about it, they’re talking about a handful of kids."

“They’re actually teenagers who come from broken homes, and they do things like chopping olive trees, and sometimes they try to burn a home,” he said.  

Netanyahu, who is currently on a trip to the US, is wanted by the International Criminal Court, which has issued an arrest warrant against him following an investigation of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
