  "account": "Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has strongly condemned an attack on a convoy of European diplomats by Israeli settlers in the West Bank. The incident took place in Taybeh, a largely Christian village in the occupied West Bank, during the Palestinian olive harvest. Masked settlers confronted the diplomats, who were visiting the village, and physically assaulted French Mayor Bernard Baudoux, 78, who was wearing a sash of the French tricolour. The violence has escalated during the olive harvest season, with settlers attacking and injuring Palestinians and foreign journalists. Israeli police have launched an investigation into the attack on the diplomatic convoy.",
