European Union Strongly Condemns Settler Attacks in the West Bank

The European Union has strongly condemned attacks carried out by settlers in the West Bank against individuals, including European diplomats and a French mayor.

Following the statement by Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot that Israeli settlers had attacked Palestinian civilians, European diplomats, and a French mayor, an official response came from the European Union. A spokesperson for the bloc stated that they condemned the attacks and noted that they welcomed similar condemnations from Israeli authorities.

The EU did not stop at condemnation, emphasizing that it expects effective measures to be taken to prevent violence and harassment against Palestinians and journalists, particularly during the olive harvest season. The bloc underscored that those responsible for the incidents must be held fully accountable.
