Masked Israeli settlers attack European diplomats in a West Bank village a day after a US photographer was beaten
Belgium's consul general, French and Polish diplomats and Catholic representatives were targeted in Taybeh on Saturday, according to Belgian foreign minister Maxime Prevot. A French mayor was assaulted and a Belgian vehicle damaged. Prevot demanded more EU sanctions, saying 'impunity for violent settlers must end'. Israel's military called it a 'severe act of violence' but said the visit was not coordinated with it.
At least four people have been killed and over 100 injured since the olive harvest began.
Photographer Heidi Levine, 64, said settlers kicked her 'probably 50 times'.
Netanyahu's office called Friday's events 'unclear'; Post editor Matt Murray retorted: 'She was clearly beaten.'
