Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has challenged allegations that Israeli settlers attacked European diplomats in Judea & Samaria, saying there is no compelling evidence establishing their responsibility.

The incident occurred near Taybeh, where European representatives reported being assaulted during a visit. Several European governments condemned the incident and demanded accountability.

Netanyahu’s office stressed that the available footage does not establish the full sequence of events or identify those responsible, warning against drawing conclusions before the facts are verified.

While the IDF and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar condemned the violence, Israeli authorities launched an investigation to determine what happened and identify those involved.

Netanyahu’s response emphasizes the distinction between investigating allegations of violence and assigning collective blame to Jewish communities in Judea & Samaria before individual responsibility has been established.
