Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar stated on Saturday that the visit of European officials to the village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank was "uncoordinated." This followed an attack by Israeli settlers on a convoy of Palestinians and European diplomats, during which a visiting French mayor was assaulted. Saar condemned the "serious violence by Israeli rioters in the Taybeh area" on social media, adding that Israeli police had launched an investigation. He further stated that the Foreign Ministry is in contact with the ambassadors of the relevant countries to assist law enforcement in identifying the attackers and bringing them to justice.
