Israeli settlers attacked a delegation of European diplomats and a US journalist in the West Bank, drawing condemnation and calls for investigation.
A delegation of European diplomats, including consuls from France and Belgium, faced an assault by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank. The attack occurred near Ramallah and involved physical violence and robbery. A Washington Post photojournalist, Heidi Levine, was also reportedly attacked by settlers during the same period. Israeli authorities have condemned the violence and promised an investigation.
The incidents underscore a surge in settler aggression, particularly during the Palestinian olive harvest. These attacks on international journalists and diplomats raise concerns about the safety of observers and the broader climate of impunity. The Palestinian Authority has urged for international action, while the U.S. has called for the prosecution of those responsible.
