The diplomatic missions of European Union countries condemned the rise of violence in the West Bank today, Saturday, considering that what is happening poses a serious threat to Palestinian civilians and reflects serious violations of international law.
Condemnation of violence and terrorism
The European missions stated in a joint statement, joined by Canada, that there are terrorist acts by settlers, in addition to violence practiced by Israeli security forces against Palestinians. They emphasized that these actions represent a threat to peace and stability in the region.
Call for Israel to stop violations
The European countries called on Israel to stop this ongoing violence, which aims to seize land and create pressure to force Palestinians to leave their territories, noting that respecting human rights and protecting civilians is an urgent necessity.
Unified international stance
The statement reflects the unity of European and Canadian positions in facing what it described as the ongoing escalation against Palestinians in the West Bank, amid repeated calls for the international community to pressure for the protection of civilians and ensure that violations do not recur.
This move comes in the context of rising tensions between Palestinians and Israeli settlers, with increasing fears of the situation slipping into wider confrontations.
