A senior US Embassy official in occupied al-Quds suppressed and altered reports on Israeli settlements, settler violence, and Palestinian American killings to favor Netanyahu’s government, according to an NYT investigation.

David Milstein, a top aide to Ambassador Mike Huckabee, reportedly blocked a memo warning that record West Bank settlement approvals could violate Trump’s opposition to annexation.

Milstein also reportedly obstructed reports on Israeli authorities’ failure to curb settler violence, while the embassy praised "Israel" for cracking down on attacks.

The investigation found that Milstein suppressed a report on the killings of nine Palestinian Americans by Israeli settlers and security forces, despite congressional demands for accountability.

Since April 2025, Milstein has reportedly tightened control over Palestinian-related diplomatic communications, sharply reducing reports reaching Washington, and effectively shaping US-'Israel' policy.
