France's foreign minister has condemned an attack by Israeli settlers on French officials in the occupied West Bank, 新华网客户端 reports. The report, published on Saturday, gives no further detail on the circumstances of the incident or on the condition of those involved.
Coverage of the same event by other outlets, cited in the same summary, describes masked settlers assaulting European diplomats in the occupied territory. 美国之音 and 央视网 both reported on the targeting of European diplomatic personnel and their vehicles, while 凤凰网 carried the story under a headline referring to an attack on European diplomats by Jewish settlers.
The accounts point to a single incident in the occupied West Bank involving European diplomatic staff, with the French foreign minister's condemnation forming the central official response reported by 新华网客户端.
The reports as summarized do not identify the French officials by name or role, specify the location within the West Bank, or state whether anyone was injured. They also do not describe any response from Israeli authorities.
The same summary lists a separate item, attributed to 半岛电视台, about a rabbi, Dov Lior, permitting settlers to take olives from Palestinian orchards. It is not presented as part of the attack report.
Watch for official statements from the French government and from Israeli authorities that may add detail on the incident and on any diplomatic follow-up.
