A particularly alarming event took place in Taybeh, where diplomats from Belgium, France, and Poland were put at risk during one such assault. This incident underlines the urgent responsibility Israel holds to intervene decisively and uphold international obligations to protect all civilians.
The Minister called for an immediate cessation of all settler violence and demanded full accountability for those responsible. She stressed that without swift action, the ongoing instability in the region will only worsen, with dire consequences for peace and security.
