Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

Israeli settlers in the West Bank attacked European diplomats, a French mayor and others, injuring three and damaging a car. The violence follows a pattern of attacks aimed at preventing Palestinians from harvesting olives, a key part of their culture and economy.

Settlers targeted a group working on olive trees in Taybeh, including a French mayor, a Belgian diplomat, and others. The attackers, some armed with clubs, shouted 'Vive la France' and caused significant damage to vehicles and property.

Belgium's foreign minister condemned the violence, stating it reflects a troubling escalation in settler attacks. The EU is set to consider sanctions against those responsible, as the violence continues to threaten both Palestinians and foreign officials in the area.
