The European Union called for an immediate end to settler violence, intimidation, and destruction of homes and property in the occupied West Bank, according to Shehab Wire. The bloc urged Israel to take concrete action to stop these practices.
The statement reflects deepening concern among European capitals over the pace and scope of settler operations in Palestinian territories. The EU has previously raised alarms about demolitions, property seizures, and attacks on Palestinian civilians by Israeli settlers in the West Bank, framing the issue as an obstacle to any viable peace process between Israelis and Palestinians.
