Jewish extremists attacked diplomats from France, Belgium, and Poland on Saturday while they were visiting an olive harvest near the Palestinian village of Taybeh, considered the last Christian village in the West Bank. Video footage from the scene shows a group of masked individuals approaching a vehicle carrying the diplomats, armed with sticks and stones, demanding identification and pursuing them on an ATV. One video shows a French diplomat sitting on the ground leaning against the vehicle, and damage to the window of the Belgian consulate's vehicle was also documented. The attackers, reportedly seven in number, also assaulted Palestinian olive harvesters in Taybeh, a village located in Area B. "We updated the army in real-time that they did not arrive or respond," said Amit Orpali, one of the activists present, adding, "They threatened to kill us."
