France has condemned “unacceptable” Israeli settler attacks on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, AFP reports.

“France strongly condemns the settler attacks that have led to the deaths of several Palestinian civilians over the past few days in Qusra and Sawiya, as well as the forced departure of several communities,” said a foreign ministry statement.

“The violence perpetrated by settlers against the Palestinian population is multiplying. It is unacceptable and must stop”, it added.

Israel should “take immediate measures to protect the Palestinian population”, said the statement.
