In a joint statement, the missions of Belgium, Canada, Denmark, the EU, Ireland, Finland, France, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, the UK, Sweden, and Switzerland “strongly condemned increasing settler terror and violence by the security forces inflicted upon communities.” “This violence by settler militias, aimed at taking over land and creating a coercive environment, forcing Palestinians to leave their homes, must end,” read the joint statement, expressing that they are especially “appalled” by the killings of Palestinians over these past weeks.
