European Union: Concerned About Escalating Violence by Settlers in the West Bank

SadaNews Translation - The European Union expressed its deep concern on Tuesday regarding the escalation of violence in the West Bank, describing its level as "unacceptable".

The spokesperson for the European Union stated in a press release, translated by SadaNews, that six Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since February 28 due to attacks carried out by extremist settlers. He noted that many Palestinian communities have also faced assaults that resulted in the destruction of property and harm to the livelihoods of residents, causing several families to be displaced and left without shelter.

The European Union called on the Israeli authorities to take immediate and effective action to prevent further attacks against Palestinian civilians and to ensure accountability for those responsible for these assaults.

The European Union also urged the Israeli government to adhere to its obligations under international law, including the protection of Palestinian populations in the occupied territories, warning that impunity could lead to an escalation of further violence in the region.
