The United Arab Emirates’ foreign ministry issues a statement condemning yesterday’s deadly settler rampage in the central West Bank Palestinian village of Kafr Malik.

Abu Dhabi in the statement “warned against the continuous assaults by settlers, and called on the Israeli government to assume full responsibility, condemn these hostile practices and hold the perpetrators accountable.

“The UAE stressed that failure to act will be seen as tacit approval that will only further deepen the cycle of hatred, racism and instability,” the statement adds.
