Israeli Settlers Attack European Diplomats, French Mayor in West Bank

Israeli settlers attacked a convoy of European diplomats and beat a visiting French mayor in the West Bank on Saturday. The incident occurred as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned of a brewing crisis in the territory following an attack on an American photojournalist. The attacks underscore rising tensions and violence against international observers in the region.

Byte's take

Diplomatic immunity means little when settlers operate with impunity. EU envoys were beaten in the West Bank, exposing the bloc's inability to protect its own representatives and monitor the deteriorating humanitarian situation under occupation.
