West Bank

"We call Israeli authorities to conduct a prompt, thorough, and transparent investigation, and hold those responsible accountable," said The Washington Post CEO Jeff D'Onofrio.

Israeli officials must account publicly for any failures identified in investigations into the West Bank attacks and explain how they will protect the remaining harvest.

Huckabee on Saturday night called for the investigation, arrest, and prosecution "to the fullest extent of the law."

"We urge caution before drawing conclusions from today's reports that European diplomats were attacked by masked Israelis," the Prime Minister's Office said in a statement.

Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine says settlers beat her as IDF soldiers stood by. After surgery, she is demanding an investigation and arrests.

Masked settlers allegedly attacked Palestinian olive harvesters near Taybeh, damaging a Belgian diplomatic vehicle. Police have opened an investigation.

Israel can view the British move as a warning: a signal of what may happen in its relations with other countries if it continues to treat the West Bank as though it is free to do whatever it wants.

With another month of the olive harvest remaining, security officials are concerned that continued violence could further inflame tensions across the West Bank.

The IDF confirmed the clash in a statement later on Saturday, noting that it is conducting searches in the area as the military continues its investigation.

While the Israeli condemnations largely called for further investigation to determine the facts, US and Palestinian condemnations accused Israeli settlers of having attacked Levine.
