France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom on Thursday called on "Israel" to comply with international law and take immediate measures to protect Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, as illegal settler attacks surged to levels not seen in nearly two decades.

In a joint statement, the four countries, collectively known as the E4, condemned the sharp rise in settler violence against Palestinian civilians and urged stability in the West Bank. Citing UN figures, the statement noted that 264 settler attacks were recorded in October alone, marking the highest monthly total since systematic monitoring began in 2006.

The E4 foreign ministers expressed deep concern over the escalation, warning that the violence is destabilizing the region and increasing the risk of broader tensions. They called on the Israeli government to uphold its obligations under international law, ensure accountability for perpetrators, and address the root causes of the attacks.

The statement also reiterated the four governments’ longstanding opposition to any form of "annexation" or settlement policies violating international law and reaffirmed their commitment to a negotiated "two-state solution".

“These attacks must stop,” the ministers said, emphasizing that such violence instills terror among civilians, undermines peace efforts, and ultimately threatens the long-term security of "Israel" itself.
