Israel condemns European criticism over West Bank settler violence

Israel condemns European criticism over West Bank settler violence Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, criticised Britain and France after the two countries called on Israel to halt settler attacks and land seizures in the occupied West Bank. In a post on X, Danon described the demands as “disappointing, but not surprising”, accusing European governments of applying a “double standard” towards Israel. “While countries like the UK and France are failing to deal with waves of terror within their own borders, they are busy diverting attention to Judea and Samaria,” Danon wrote, using the Israeli term for the West Bank.
