United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the recent attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians and their property in the occupied West Bank.
UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said in a statement that these almost daily attacks by settlers have become increasingly severe, resulting in death, injuries, extensive property damage, and displacement – sometimes of entire communities.

The spokesman reiterated the Secretary-General’s assertion that Israeli settlements – and their associated infrastructure – have no legal legitimacy and constitute a flagrant violation of international law, including relevant UN resolutions.

The UN Secretary-General called for an urgent de-escalation of the alarming situation in the West Bank and an end to attacks on civilians and their property.-New York(QNA)
