The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of the State of Palestine strongly condemns the terrorist attacks carried out by Israeli settler militias against unarmed Palestinian civilians

This evening, organized Israeli settler militias launched a terrorist assault on the village of Kafr Malik, setting fire to homes and vehicles and indiscriminately opening fire on residents. The attack resulted in the killing of three Palestinian civilians inside their homes and the injury of many others.

In a clear indication of official complicity, Israeli occupation forces prevented ambulance crews from reaching the wounded and obstructed civil defense teams from entering the village for several hours, allowing fires ignited by the settlers to spread and destroy dozens of homes.

The Ministry holds the extremist Israeli government fully responsible for these ongoing crimes and calls on the international community — including the European Union and the United Nations Security Council — to take urgent action to ensure the protection of Palestinian civilians.

The Ministry also demands accountability for these settler terrorist militias, the prosecution of their members, and the imposition of sanctions on all those who support, fund, or provide them with political and security cover. Such measures are necessary to stop these crimes and end the culture of impunity.
