Israeli settlers attacked European diplomats and a French mayor in the West Bank, with a Belgian car damaged. Belgium's foreign minister condemned the violence, calling for accountability.
Settlers targeted Palestinians, diplomats, and officials during the olive harvest, with masked attackers using clubs and firearms. A Belgian consul and French mayor were among those attacked, according to Belgian and French sources.
Belgium will pursue sanctions against those responsible for the violence, the minister said. The attacks come as Israel faces pressure over its settlement policy and the upcoming election.
Israeli authorities have launched an investigation into the attacks, while Belgium and other European nations have criticized the violence as part of a broader pattern of settler aggression.
