The United Nations condemned on Monday the assaults by Israeli settlers on Palestinian citizens and journalists in the occupied West Bank.
This came in statements made by Farhan Haq, the spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, during the daily press conference.
In response to a question about whether the Secretary-General condemns the settlers' attacks on Palestinians and journalists in the West Bank, Haq said: "Yes, we condemn the assaults by the settlers."
Haq emphasized that the United Nations rejects assaults on journalists worldwide and sees no justification for Israel to prevent international journalists from entering the Gaza Strip.
Regarding the ongoing Israeli military maneuvers in the West Bank and the Jordan Valley, Haq simply stated that the United Nations has clearly expressed its concern about those activities.
On Monday, the Israeli army launched military maneuvers in the occupied West Bank and the Jordan Valley, which will last for three days.
The West Bank, including Jerusalem, has witnessed a comprehensive Israeli escalation for two years, resulting in the deaths of at least 1,069 Palestinians and injuries to about 10,000 others, along with the arrest of more than 20,000 people, including 1,600 children.
Yes, we condemn the assaults by the settlers.
