Settlers clash with European diplomats in West Bank
Israeli settlers attacked a convoy of European diplomats in the West Bank on Saturday, assaulting a French mayor named Bernard Boudo during his visit to the area. He was injured with multiple bruises and collapsed to the ground. This attack occurred amid escalating violence during the olive harvest season, as settlers attempted to prevent Palestinians from harvesting their olives and made hostile statements towards the diplomats, among them representatives from France, Belgium, and Poland. The Belgian government strongly condemned the incident, and the Israeli police launched an investigation. Some Israeli officials and diplomats criticized the Israeli government for its leniency toward settler violence, amidst increasing acts of violence and abuses in the West Bank, including attacks on Palestinians and photojournalists.
