The Washington Post CEO Jeff D'Onofrio on Saturday called for an investigation into the attack on one of the paper's photojournalists in the West Bank by Israeli settlers, and thanked US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee and President Isaac Herzog for their words of condemnation of the attack.

"We appreciate Ambassador Huckabee's call for a robust investigation and accountability following the violent and unwarranted attack on our colleague, photographer Heidi Levine, in the West Bank," D'Onofrio wrote in a statement shared on X.

"We are also grateful for the supportive words of President Herzog and the condemnation issued by Israeli political leaders and dozens of former security and defense officials," he added, and also called on Israeli authorities to "conduct a prompt, thorough, and transparent investigation, hold those responsible accountable, and reaffirm their commitment to protecting press freedom and the safety of journalists."
