Israeli President condemns settler attack which left Washington Post photographer injured
A day after the attack, there were reports of European diplomats also being targeted by settlers in the West Bank
Assessment
The Israeli President's condemnation of a settler attack that injured a Washington Post photographer signals official concern, but the follow up reports of European diplomats being targeted the next day show the violence is not isolated. The question is whether this condemnation will translate into concrete action to protect journalists and foreign nationals. Watch for whether the Israeli government takes steps to restrain settler activity or if diplomatic pressure from Europe escalates.
