The UAE has condemned the attacks by Israeli settlers on cities and villages in the occupied West Bank, the latest of which resulted in the killing and injury of a number of Palestinians in the village of Kafr Malik near Ramallah.

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned against the continuous assaults by settlers, calling on the Israeli government to assume full responsibility, condemn these practices, and hold the perpetrators accountable. 

The Ministry emphasised the need for joint efforts to halt the escalation and prevent further loss of life, stressing the significance of providing full protection to civilians in accordance with international law and treaties.

The Ministry also called on the international community to fulfill its responsibilities to end the ongoing Israeli violations and to prevent fueling the situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and the region.

According to Reuters, three Palestinians were killed and seven wounded during the attack by dozens of Israeli settlers, the Palestinian health ministry said.
