Israeli and foreign peace activists staged a demonstration Friday outside the European Union headquarters in occupied Jerusalem, demanding that the bloc intervene to stop ongoing settler attacks against Palestinians throughout the occupied West Bank, Shehab Wire reported. The protesters gathered to press the EU to take concrete action against the violence.
The demonstration reflected mounting concern among Israeli peace groups and international activists over the scale of settler aggression targeting Palestinian communities. Activists have increasingly turned to international bodies, including the European Union, to pressure for measures aimed at curbing the attacks in the territory.
