The European Union's spokesperson in Jerusalem warned that escalating settler assaults across the West Bank threaten the territory's stability, Shehab Wire reported. The official specifically cited intensifying attacks in Qusra, a town south of Nablus, as a focal point of concern amid what he described as widening violence by settlers in multiple areas throughout the West Bank.
The EU statement underscores mounting European concern over the frequency and scope of settler-led attacks against Palestinian communities. The spokesperson's remarks come as clashes between settlers and Palestinians have intensified across occupied territories, with Qusra experiencing what authorities characterize as a pattern of repeated assaults in recent periods.
