The foreign ministers of France and the UK condemn last night’s settler rampage.
French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne said on Friday that he condemned an attack by Israeli settlers on a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank.
“We condemn this situation,” he says, speaking alongside his British counterpart David Lammy, at a press conference in Jerusalem.
“The scenes overnight, of the burning and the torching of buildings, of the Molotov cocktails thrown at cars, of the widespread rampage and chasing of people from their homes, is abhorrent, and I condemn it in the strongest of terms,” Lammy adds.
