A senior aide to US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee is accused of restricting diplomatic reporting on Israeli settlement expansion, settler violence, and the deaths of American citizens, raising concerns that Washington policymakers may not have received the full picture of events in the West Bank.
David Milstein, a senior embassy adviser who returned to the Jerusalem mission in April 2025, allegedly blocked some reports, rewrote others, and delayed cables until their information was no longer relevant, according to US officials familiar with his work and internal diplomatic records.
