STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Statement <\/strong>by the Spokesperson on today's arson attack in the West Bank<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The cold-blooded killing of Palestinian toddler Ali Dawabsha, presumably by extremist settlers, is a tragic reminder of the dramatic situation in the region that highlights the urgent need for a political solution of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The EU extends its condolences to the Dawabsha family for their tragic loss and wishes a speedy recovery to the mother, father and the sibling of little Ali that were also injured in the arson attack in the village of Duma in the West Bank.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

A full and prompt investigation to bring the perpetrators of this terrible crime to justice is required. The Israeli authorities should also take resolute measures to protect the local population. We call for full accountability, effective law enforcement and zero tolerance for settler violence. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Acts like this terrible attack can easily lead to a spiral of violence and bring both sides further away from a negotiated solution. Restraint and calm on all sides are needed so that the already tense situation on the ground does not aggravate further.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The EU reiterates its strong opposition to Israel's settlement policy that seriously threatens the two state solution.<\/p><\/div>\n
