US, France Condemn Settler Violence in West Bank

The U.S. and France have strongly condemned escalating settler violence in the West Bank, particularly after an attack on a European diplomatic delegation and an American journalist. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged Israel to take firm action, while French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot called for the prosecution of those who attacked the delegation. Israeli officials acknowledged the incidents but questioned the motives and coordination of the visits. The violence occurs during the olive harvest season, with organizations reporting hundreds of attacks on Palestinians and thousands of trees damaged.
