Masked Israeli settlers attack European diplomats and knock a French mayor to the ground in the occupied West Bank

Bernard Baudoux, mayor of Aulnoye-Aymeries, was wearing his tricolour sash when he was knocked down in Taybeh, and a witness said the attacker shouted 'Vive la France'. He was there to launch a twinning deal with the Christian town. The archbishop of Cambrai, Vincent Dollmann, was threatened, and a Belgian armoured car had its window smashed. Benjamin Netanyahu's office raised a 'coordinated campaign to smear Israel'.

Belgian foreign minister Maxime Prevot said 'impunity for violent settlers must end'.

Marco Rubio has issued a demand to Israel over 'disturbing' settler violence.

At least four have been killed and over 100 injured since the olive harvest began.
