Israeli settlers attack European delegation convoy in West Bank, beat French mayor
Israeli settlers on Saturday attacked a convoy carrying a European delegation in the occupied West Bank, beating up a 78-year-old French mayor. While Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – who is just days from a crucial election – described the incident as a "smear" campaign against Israeli settlers, France's top diplomat urged Israel to "urgently halt criminal violence".

'France's top diplomat urged Israel to "urgently halt criminal violence, or we may be forced to issue a statement."'
But a sternly worded one!
Not beating the allegations, though.
Just about the only thing they're not beating
Sanctions.
