Israeli settlers attack EU diplomat convoy in West Bank; Belgium condemns

Israeli settler violence in the West Bank has significantly escalated, targeting Palestinian olive harvesters, European diplomats, and a US photojournalist. While Israeli authorities have initiated investigations, the lack of immediate condemnation from the Israeli government and calls for EU sanctions by Belgium indicate a deteriorating security and diplomatic situation. The coordinated nature of some attacks and the targeting of international personnel suggest a deliberate escalation.
