EU says ‘concerned’ about violence in flashpoint Sheikh Jarrah
The European Union delegation to the Palestinians says it is “concerned” about the violent clashes in East Jerusalem’s Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood earlier today and last night.
The clashes erupted after the home of a Jewish family was targeted in an apparent firebomb attack on Friday night, and far-right MK Itamar Ben Gvir set up his “parliamentary office” in the neighborhood this morning.
“Concerned about ongoing developments in Sheikh Jarrah, East Jerusalem, with violent clashes leading to several injured and arrests. Incidents of settler violence, irresponsible provocations and other escalatory acts in this sensitive area only fuel further tensions & must cease,” the EU delegation tweets.
