8 settlers briefly held for rioting, attacking Palestinians and troops in West Bank

Eight Israeli settlers were arrested by troops for rioting and assaulting Palestinians and IDF soldiers in the northern West Bank overnight and Wednesday morning, the Israel Police and the Shin Bet security service said.

Hours later, a court ordered all eight released.

In the nearby town of Huwara, settlers carried out another attack against Palestinians, setting fire to property and hurling stones.

The Yesh Din anti-occupation watchdog said a house of a family of seven was set ablaze, as well as two vehicles. The group said neighbors saved the family from the blaze, but the father was attacked with rocks and sticks and was hospitalized with skull fractures.

It’s clear that Netanyahu and his right-wing ministers plan to take Gaza away from them. Netanyahu is encouraging settlers to commit violence and kill West Bank Palestinians who are being forced into an ever smaller amount of land. Neither Trump nor Netanyahu cares what happens to Palestinians.

I don't think the matter is as settled as your observation suggests it to be.
