A convoy carrying a European delegation, including a French mayor, was reportedly attacked by Israeli settlers in the West Bank, with the mayor sustaining injuries. Witnesses stated that extremists assaulted residents and damaged a European diplomatic vehicle's window during the incident, which occurred amidst a surge in settler violence in the territory, particularly during the olive harvest season.
In a separate development, no further action will be taken against Sarah Helm, wife of the prime minister's national security adviser Jonathan Powell, after she posted on X expressing support for the banned protest group Palestine Action. Authorities determined that her statement did not meet the criminal threshold.
