Egypt’s foreign ministry calls for an “immediate cessation” of settler attacks on Palestinian villages in the West Bank after this year’s second deadly reprisal attack by Israelis.
The statement blasts Israeli authorities for failing to intervene and prevent the attacks in Turmus Ayya and other Palestinian villages where settlers torched dozens of buildings and cars.
“Egypt affirms its complete rejection of acts of intimidation and collective punishment targeting Palestinian citizens,” its foreign ministry says.
