In a joint statement on the attacks that killed Israeli citizens, six European countries, including Poland, also called on Israel to halt expansion of settlements there.
"We urge the Israeli government to reverse its recent decision to advance the construction of more than 7,000 settlement building units across the occupied West Bank and to legalise settlement outposts," Poland, Germany, France, Britain, Italy and Spain said in the statement, as quoted by IAR.
Meanwhile, the European Union's envoy to the Palestinians, Sven Kühn von Burgsdorff, on Friday called for accountability after a rampage by Israeli settlers in which a Palestinian was killed and dozens of houses, shops and cars were destroyed.
