The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has urged against jumping to conclusions regarding an alleged attack on European diplomats in the village of Taybeh in Judea and Samaria. A statement emphasized that police are still investigating the circumstances and identifying those responsible. "We urge caution before drawing conclusions from today's reports that European diplomats were attacked by masked Israelis in Judea and Samaria," the statement read. The Prime Minister's office stressed that violence against diplomats is unacceptable and that serious accusations require solid evidence.
According to the Prime Minister's office, the diplomats entered a sensitive area, which has previously seen confrontations, without prior coordination with the IDF. Among the diplomats was the mayor of the French city of Berner Baudou, representing the French Communist Party and a supporter of the Palestinian cause.
