Amnesty International has called on the international community to impose sanctions on Israeli officials involved in violations of international law, and to take urgent measures to stop the escalation of settler attacks against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, coinciding with the start of the olive harvest season.
It pointed to a series of attacks witnessed in the towns of Khirbet Abu Falah and Al-Taybeh, east of Ramallah, over the past weekend, which targeted a photojournalist working for The Washington Post and a delegation of European diplomats.
Amnesty called on states to halt all forms of trade, investment, and cooperation that contribute to the continuation of the illegal Israeli occupation, and to take practical steps to prevent complicity in the violations and crimes committed against Palestinians.
