These diplomatic statements come after a sharp escalation in attacks and murders of Palestinians across the West Bank by Israeli settlers under the cover of Israel’s war on Iran.

On Thursday, Middle East Eye reported that at least six Palestinians had been killed in settler attacks in the past week.

Last Sunday, a group of 100 masked Israeli settlers descended on the town of Abu Falah in an attempt to displace the Palestinian residents. The attackers shot and killed Fara Hamayel, 57, and Thaer Hamayel, 30, and wounded several others, MEE reported.
