The EU strongly condemns the latest attacks by violent settlers in the West Bank, including on European diplomats.
We take positive note of statements by several Israeli representatives who condemned the attacks but we expect full accountability as well as effective measures to prevent continued acts of violence and violent harassment against Palestinians, including during the ongoing olive harvest season, as well as against journalists.
We urge Israel to fully abide by International Humanitarian and Human Rights Law, and to cease the expansion of settlements.
