West Bank attacks on Washington Post journalist, diplomats may signal dangerous trend - analysis

In the West Bank region, there have been instances of Jewish extremists assaulting foreign reporters and Western diplomats, though previously such incidents resulted in swift consequences for the perpetrators. However, in recent days, a Washington Post photojournalist and Western diplomats reportedly faced assaults, unlike in the past.
