The incident has likewise been condemned by France, Belgium and the EU, as well as Israel's own foreign minister.
Poland has vehemently condemned an attack by masked Israeli settlers on a delegation of European diplomats, which included Polish diplomats, that was touring the West Bank. The incident took place in the occupied West Bank and has been denounced by France, Belgium, the European Union, and the Israeli foreign minister. Masked Israeli settlers targeted European diplomats, a French mayor, and Palestinians during their visit to Taybeh, a mostly Christian Palestinian village near Ramallah.
The attack occurred amid a surge in settler violence during the olive harvest season. Poland's foreign ministry spokesperson, Maciej Wewiór, expressed deep outrage and demanded a decisive response from Israeli authorities, along with the identification and accountability of the perpetrators. The European Union's diplomatic service also strongly condemned the attack, calling for full accountability and measures to prevent further acts of violence against Palestinians.
