EU Demands Accountability After Settlers Attack European Diplomats in West Bank
Summarized from The Times of Israel by baba
European diplomats were attacked by masked settlers near the West Bank village of Taybeh on Saturday, prompting condemnation from the EU and France, who are demanding accountability from Israel. The incident, which involved stone-throwing and window-smashing, occurred amid a reported surge in settler violence against Palestinians, including during the ongoing olive harvest. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu questioned the evidence and suggested a smear campaign, while no arrests had been made as of Sunday afternoon in either this or a separate alleged assault on a photojournalist.
