Settler responds to media coverage of Turmus Ayya incident during US Ambassador visit

A settler has defended his actions after Israeli media reported an "unusual incident" in Turmus Ayya during US Ambassador Mike Huckabee's visit. Amichai Malt, who drove a security vehicle through the area, said he was investigating reports of dozens of vehicles gathering near his community—an area that has seen recent attacks and arson attempts. Malt said he greeted the diplomatic delegation and left after the IDF informed him it was a scheduled visit. He criticized media for portraying settlers as "dangerous" and wrote an open letter to Ambassador Huckabee explaining the incident.
