Six European states worry about Palestinian bloodshed.

March 4, 2023



(ahram) βΈ» France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom have expressed their "grave" concern in the face of growing violence in the occupied Palestinian territories, urging a cessation of all unilateral actions that threaten peace and incitements to violence. Clashes erupted between Palestinians and Israeli occupation forces in different parts of the occupied West Bank on Friday as a fallout from Israeli raids and Jewish settlers' attacks on Palestinian towns. The foreign ministries of the six nations also condemned indiscriminate violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinian civilians, including destruction of homes and properties. On Thursday, Israeli troops shot dead a 15-year-old Palestinian boy and critically wounded another child in the town of Azzun in the West Bank. The six EU nations hailed the Aqaba meeting, which brought together Palestinian and Israeli officials in the hope of ending the violence in the occupied Palestinian territories. They urged all parties to refrain from derailing the fragile process and to make good on the commitments they made in the meeting. They also reiterated their strong opposition to all unilateral measures that undermine the two-state solution, including expansion of settlements which are illegal under international law. They urged the Israeli government to reverse its recent decision to advance the construction of more than 7,000 settlement building units across the occupied West Bank and to legalise settlement outposts.
