  "account": "The European Union strongly condemned an attack by Israeli settlers on a convoy of European diplomats in the West Bank on Saturday. The EU also denounced violence against French mayor Bernard Baudoux, who was beaten up by masked settlers, and American photojournalist injured by a brutal attack. The statement urged full accountability and effective measures to prevent continued acts of violence and harassment against Palestinians and journalists during the ongoing olive harvest season. EU foreign service urged Israel to abide by International Humanitarian and Human Rights Law and cease settlement expansion. The violence is escalating ahead of Israel's October 27 elections, coinciding with an olive harvest disrupted by settlers as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attempts to secure support from his pro-settlement base.",
