Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank forced Palestinians to exhume the body of their father from his freshly dug village grave, his family said, near a settlement re-established by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. “They said the land was for settlement and that burial was not allowed. We told them that this is the village’s cemetery, not part of the settlement,” said Asasa. The settlers then threatened to dig the grave up with a bulldozer, Asasa said, so the family decided to exhume their father’s body themselves.
