UK, France condemn West Bank attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians

The UK and France have strongly condemned a recent attack by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank, Reuters reports.

French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne condemned the attack at a news conference alongside his British counterpart David Lammy in Jerusalem. “We condemn this situation,” said Sejourne.

“The scenes overnight, of the burning and the torching of buildings, of the Molotov cocktails thrown at cars, of the widespread rampage and chasing of people from their homes, is abhorrent, and I condemn it in the strongest of terms,” Lammy said at the press conference.
