US and France urge Israel to curb settlement violence
The diplomatic arena has witnessed an escalation in American and French criticisms against the Israeli government due to increasing settler attacks in the West Bank, especially during the olive harvest season, which has seen repeated assaults on farmers and volunteers. Washington called on Israel to take decisive measures to halt the violence and expressed concern over the assaults, including an attack on a journalist from The Washington Post. France demanded the swift detention of those responsible for an attack targeting a European diplomatic convoy, describing it as a horrific act, and urged Israel to adhere to international law. Israel responded by accusing European consulates and claimed there is an organized campaign to malign it. Meanwhile, Netanyahu's party faces internal criticism over its responsibility for the worsening situation. Attacks on farmers and properties, along with the rising number of settlers—estimated at around 750,000—are among the key reasons behind the escalating tension in the region.
