European Union diplomats on a visit to the occupied West Bank were attacked and injured by Israeli settlers, according to reports. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu provoked further anger with remarks that the diplomats were to blame for trying to observe what the army did not want seen. Critics say the episode highlights unchecked settler violence against Palestinians, including killings and destruction of homes and property, and has fuelled calls from European officials for accountability and protection for observers.
Why now: The assault on foreign diplomats, combined with the prime minister's response, is being widely discussed as evidence of deteriorating conditions in the occupied West Bank.
