Masked Israeli settlers attacked a convoy of European diplomats visiting the Palestinian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank on Saturday during the olive harvest. Belgium said its consul general, French and Polish diplomats and Catholic representatives were targeted, a French mayor was assaulted and a vehicle was damaged. Israel's foreign minister condemned the violence, while Belgium called for further EU sanctions over settlements.
