Foreign ministers of Turkey and seven countries strongly condemned the escalating settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. The statement specifically highlighted recent attacks on the Great Mosque in the village of Jiljilya north of Ramallah and the Al-Farouk Mosque in the village of Mezra en-Nubani.
The ministers noted the clear violation of the inviolability of places of worship and holy sites. They stressed that these attacks violate international law, including international humanitarian law and relevant United Nations resolutions.
