Hamas Movement strongly condemned, in a press release issued Saturday, the repeated attacks by Jewish settlers against the Palestinian residents of the Al Mughayyer village located in Ramallah.
“Israeli colonial settlers continue to attack and terrorize our Palestinian people across the occupied West Bank, under the protection of the fascist Israeli occupation government,” the statement reads.
“The crimes and assaults committed by the Israeli occupation army and colonial settlers require effective Arab and international action to support our Palestinian people and their just cause, condemn the Israeli occupation, and hold its leaders accountable for their crimes and violations of all international norms and conventions threatening peace and stability in the Middle East.”
Along the same line, the EU expressed concerns over the settler’s attacks against Palestinian civilians in Burqa and Al Mughayyer villages, resulting in injuries and destruction of Palestinian homes.
The EU condemned the settler violence and called on Israel to take decisive steps to ensure accountability and protect the Palestinian civilian population in line with its obligations under international law.
UN data shows a trend of increasing and more violent settler attacks against Palestinians in the occupied Palestinian territories.
