Israeli settlers attacked a convoy of European diplomats visiting the occupied West Bank on Saturday, October 17th, with one French mayor physically assaulted. Bernard Baudoux, the communist mayor of Aulnoye-Aymeries in northern France, was reportedly beaten and seen lying on the ground against a vehicle in a video obtained by AFP. This incident follows a similar attack on Friday, where a Washington Post photojournalist was also assaulted by settlers. The attacks have prompted strong reactions, with both Paris and Washington reportedly pressing Israel to end the violence perpetrated by settlers. Diplomatic sources confirmed the assault on the convoy and the beating of the French mayor. This escalation raises concerns regarding the safety of foreign officials and journalists operating in the occupied West Bank. These recent incidents highlight the ongoing tensions in the region.
