Six European countries called Saturday on Israel to stop the expansion of settlements, while also condemning the settler attack against the town of Huwara, south Nablus, and other villages in the West Bank last week.
In a joint statement, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, and the UK said: “We urge 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 legalize settlement outposts.”
