Israeli settlers attack European diplomats in Taybeh in the West Bank

Israeli settlers attacked a group including European diplomats near the Palestinian village of Taybeh, near Ramallah.

Belgian, Polish and French diplomats are present on site, including the French consul in Jerusalem as reported by activists on the ground and military radio. Masked settlers carrying sticks threw stones at diplomatic vehicles.

Images and testimonies from the area indicate that around ten masked Israeli settlers arrived in the area on quad bikes, surrounded the vehicle of one of the diplomats, demanding his identity documents and then smashed the window of the Belgian consulate's car with stones. As reported by Haaretz, among those attacked there is also Bernard Baudoux, mayor of the French city Aulnoye-Aymeries.
