EU, Arab Diplomats Come Under Israeli Fire In Occupied West Bank’s Jenin (6213 Views)

Several nations roundly condemn the incident and call for a transparent investigation.


A diplomatic delegation from the European Union, Arab and Asian nations has come under Israeli fire while visiting the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Authority and numerous countries confirm.

The diplomats were undertaking an official mission on Wednesday to assess the humanitarian situation in Jenin as a wide-scale Israeli military assault there, which has caused deaths and displacement, enters its fourth month.

The Israeli army said its soldiers fired warning shots to move the delegation away because it had deviated from a previously agreed route and entered an area it was not authorised to be in. There were no injuries.

The commander of the Israeli Civil istration in the West Bank ordered Israeli officers to speak with representatives of the delegation’s countries who “will soon hold personal conversations with the diplomats and update them on the findings of the initial investigation conducted on the matter”, the military said in a statement.

Al Jazeera’s Hamdah Salhut, reporting from Amman, Jordan, because Al Jazeera has been banned from the West Bank and Israel, said the incident shows the reality on the ground and anyone in the occupied West Bank can come under Israeli fire.

“These places in the Palestinian territory have come under complete siege – tens of thousands of Palestinians who have been forcibly uprooted from their homes as part of the ongoing military raids in Jenin, Tulkarem and in surrounding areas in the north of the occupied West Bank,” she added.

Videos on social media show delegation giving media interviews when shots are heard ringing out close to the group and forcing it to run for cover.

Footage verified by Al Jazeera’s Sanad fact-checking agency also showed two Israeli soldiers standing nearby with their rifles pointing towards the diplomats.

About 20 diplomats were being briefed at the time about the situation in Jenin, an aid worker speaking on condition of anonymity told The Associated Press news agency. Witnesses said it was unclear where the shots came from and no one was injured.

The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned in “the strongest possible the heinous crime committed by the Israeli occupation forces, which deliberately targeted by live fire an accredited diplomatic delegation”.

Condemnation, calls for investigation, ambassadors summoned

Other European and Arab governments added their own condemnations with calls for answers.

Turkiye’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the gunfire “in the strongest ” and said Ankara was calling for an immediate investigation and for ability.

“This attack, which endangered the lives of diplomats, is yet another demonstration of Israel’s systematic disregard for international law and human rights,” the ministry said in a statement, adding that a diplomat from its own consulate in Jerusalem was in the delegation.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said he would summon the Israeli ambassador in Paris. Barrot, writing on X, called the incident “unacceptable” and said the ambassador would be required to explain.

Simon Harris, Ireland’s minister for foreign affairs, said: “I am shocked and appalled,” noting that two Irish diplomats based in Ramallah in the West Bank were in the group. This is completely unacceptable and I condemn it in the strongest .”

Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares said his country has also summoned the Israeli ambassador in Madrid. “We demand clarity and ability,” he added.

Ireland and Spain have been two of the strongest pro-Palestine voices in the EU and have called for an end to the Israeli war in Gaza and the suffering of the population in the enclave and in the West Bank.

The government of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni demanded an explanation, saying its vice consul was among those who came under fire. Israel’s ambassador to Italy will be summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation to explain.

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said firing even warning shots was unacceptable. She had said a day earlier that the 27-nation bloc was reviewing its trade agreement with Israel due to the “catastrophic” situation in Gaza.

Jordan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates also condemned “in the strongest … We call on the international community to assume its legal and moral responsibilities and compel Israel to stop its aggression on Gaza and its escalation in the West Bank,” its statement posted on X said.

The Saudi Foreign Ministry called “on the international community and the Security Council for an immediate halt to Israeli violations against civilians and diplomatic missions”.

Jenin – along with Tulkarem and Nur Shams – has been the main focus of a large-scale Israeli military operation in the northern West Bank since January. Since then, Israeli forces have accelerated an already ongoing process of enforced mass displacement, home demolitions and mass arrests of Palestinians.

About 40,000 Palestinians remain displaced in the northern West Bank, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

This is your IDF, the Israeli diaper force, shooting at EU diplomats visiting the West Bank. Mind you, the West Bank and Gaza are the only Palestinian territories left.

There is no Hamas in the West Bank. Instead, the West Bank is supervised and ruled by Israel through the super-corrupt Palestinian Authority, whose leader, Mahmoud Abbas, has done nothing other than help Israel to murder Palestinians in the West Bank, just so he can remain the President of Palestine.

Yet, the same Israel has repeatedly killed Palestinians in the West Bank, shooting them for no reason, arresting their children and sending them to stand trial in military courts, demolishing their houses, uprooting and burning their farms, and pouring concrete into their wells, all while the Palestinian Authority does nothing.

If you claim Israel is destroying Gaza because of Hamas, why then is Israel destroying the West Bank? There is no Hamas there. And the Palestinian Authority is Israel’s lap dog. So, why is Israel destroying the West Bank?

The truth is that Israel’s end goal is to steal Palestinian lands and establish its own people there. They want to expel Palestinians in Gaza into Egypt and Palestinians in the West Bank into Jordan. And there is nothing they won’t do to achieve that, even if it means shooting at European diplomats.

And ask yourself: If Israel can shoot at European diplomats, then you can imagine what they are doing to Palestinians.

Last year alone, Israel has stolen more land from the West Bank than it has done over the past decades. It has also destroyed homes, bombed families, and shot at children. Mind you, there is no Hamas in the West Bank. So, why is Israel stealing land and killing people there?

Think for yourself and do not allow any pro-Israeli propagandist to lie to you. This is not about Islam or whatever. It is about genocide and ethnic cleansing. Palestine is a nationality and not a religion.

The Europeans did the same too in South Africa where they stole land, murdered people, and brought in White Europeans to rule over the blacks there. Nelson Mandela stood up to fight for the freedom of South Africa, and like the Palestinian resistance, the whites labeled him as a terrorist and tried to kill him.

Mandela survived and went on to become the first black president of South Africa. But Mandela remained on the US terror watch list throughout his presidency until 2008 when he was removed from the watch list.

There is a reason South Africa keeps speaking up for Palestine. They too went through the same thing. As a black man or woman, you should be on the side of truth and justice. You should be on the side of Palestine.

How can one steal his own land..

Lots of disinformation going around especially among the moslem folks...

Those claiming to own the judea and samaria are all Arabs from Jordan and elsewhere, infact that land was controlled by Jordan at some point after the jews where expelled and their temple burnt by the romans and taken captives to Europe and scattered all over.

Infact it's the Romans that coined the name Palestine all to spite the jews cos of theor stubbornness and disagreement to be subjugated....before that it has always been kingdom of Israel/Judea

lol.Another random guy on the internet spewing lies, pretending Palestine has ever been an independent state (it hasn’t) and that Hamas aren’t bloodthirsty terrorists (they are). Funny how you guys never mention Hamas butchering thousand of Israelis on October 7th, including that poor African student they executed in cold blood. But no, let’s ignore that and cry about “stolen land”.https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-67713520.amp

Speaking of lies, those so called European diplomats in the West Bank, filming their little propaganda stunt, whinged when the IDF fired warning shots in the air, around to disperse them. Where’s the footage of soldiers gunning them down like Palestinian terrorists did to that pregnant woman on her way to give birth. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgq89yd7p7o
Happened in the same West Bank.
I’m sure you’ll call it “Zionist lies.”

No Hamas in the West Bank indeed. The Jenin Brigades, Tulkarm terrorists, and Islamic Jihad thugs are all there, just because they don’t hand out business cards doesn’t mean they’re not somehow Hamas-aligned when need be or have similar Islamic ideology. Even the so called Palestinian Authority had to crack down on them last year,or did they just fancy a random jail day for fun? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.timesofisrael.com/why-pa-security-forces-are-cracking-down-on-palestinian-terror-groups-in-west-bank/amp/

If Israel was truly committing genocide why then has the Palestinian population increased since 1967? Worst. Genocide. Ever. That's not how genocide works. Lol
And if the IDF just wanted to kill Palestinians, why arrest terrorists instead of executing them? Why bother rescuing Indian workers kidnapped in West Bank?
Oops. https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/10-missing-indian-workers-found-in-west-bank-rescued-by-israel-101741316371052.html

Funny how you worship Mandela but never talk about the fact that his ANC bombed and killed civilians(search it up). But Mandela changed, denounced violence, and made peace. Hamas’s charter still screams about wiping out Jews. So why don’t Palestinians follow Mandela’s actual example instead of glorifying terrorists?

It’s not about Islam? Why does Hamas’s charter quote the Quran calling for Jewish slaughter? Why do Palestinian kids learn in school that martyrdom is the highest honour? And if it’s just about “land,” why did Arab nations cleanse and expel thousand of Jews in 1948? Where’s your outrage for that ethnic cleansing?

Are you aware that Jews have been living there thousand of years before Islam ever existed? Why do Palestinian leaders always deny Jewish history (like the Temple Mount) while crying about “erasure”? Who’s really rewriting history here? You can keep crying. Israel will do whatever and there's nothing you or anyone can do about it!!

I can see that the ers of the genocidal state of Israel feel attacked and are going into overdrive. That is good news. I am surprised that they have not yet accused the European diplomats of being Hamas.

The funny part is that if the EU diplomats did not bring their own media, Israel and their online ers would have told us that it was Hamas that shot at those EU diplomats.

Now that Israel is the one shooting, you can see that they have nothing to say and cannot comment on the news of Israel shooting at EU diplomats. All they keep doing is to distract us with more lies.

[quote author=Botragelad post=135472895][/quote]

“Palestine never existed.”

False.
• British Mandate Palestine (1920-1948) had internationally recognized borders, ports, and stamps—long before the state of Israel.
• The UN Partition Plan of 1947 explicitly references “Arab Palestine” and “Jewish State” as two separate entities.
• The name “Palestine” predates “Israel” by millennia, documented as far back as Herodotus (5th century BC) and even earlier by the ancient Egyptians.
• Fact: Jesus of Nazareth was a Palestinian Jew born under Roman occupation in Palestine.

Palestine existed under colonial names, imperial names, and indigenous claim—but it was always a place with people.


“Hamas are bloodthirsty terrorists, so Palestinians deserve it.”

This is called collective punishment—a war crime under the Geneva Conventions.
• Fact: Hamas ≠ all Palestinians. Nearly 50% of Gaza’s population are children.
• Fact: Mandela was labeled a terrorist too. So was Menachem Begin (Irgun), later PM of Israel.
• Fact: If terrorism justifies annihilation, then why isn’t Israel punished for Irgun’s King David Hotel bombing (91 killed, 1946)?

A terrorist group’s crimes do not justify the collective starvation, bombing, or displacement of millions of innocents.


“Population growth disproves genocide.”

Flawed logic.
• Genocide isn’t defined by numbers alone. It’s about intent: the deliberate destruction in whole or in part of an ethnic, religious, or national group.
• The UN definition of genocide includes targeting for physical destruction, denial of aid, forced displacement—not just body counts.

The Holocaust saw Polish Jews put into ghettos before mass extermination. Gaza is being ghettoized with food, water, and medicine blockades.
Population numbers growing due to high birth rates under siege do not negate genocidal acts.


“Where’s outrage for Jewish expulsion in 1948?”

Valid but irrelevant.
• The Nakba (Catastrophe) saw over 750,000 Palestinians ethnically cleansed via Plan Dalet and others.
• Arab Jewish expulsions happened too, yes. But two wrongs do not justify an apartheid state or ethnic cleansing in 2024.

If we justice, we must oppose all expulsions—not cherry-pick based on religion.


“Jews lived in Israel before Islam.”

True. And?
• So did Canaanites, Philistines, Arabs, Nabateans, Christians, Byzantines, and yes—Jews.
• But the modern state of Israel was not founded by ancient Jews, it was built by European Zionists, most of whom had never set foot in Palestine.

Ancient presence ≠ modern entitlement to expel, wall-off, or dehumanize existing populations.


“Israel arrests terrorists, not executes them.”


Really?
• Over 40 journalists killed in Gaza.
• Over 12,000 children dead—confirmed by Save the Children, WHO, UNICEF.
• Entire families wiped out in Rafah and Khan Younis. Was the baby an armed terrorist?

Let’s not pretend this is clean warfare. It’s a military industrial slaughter machine with U.S. arms and a blank check.


“Why don’t Palestinians follow Mandela?”

Mandela:

“We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.”

Mandela made peace after apartheid fell—not while it was bombing Soweto and locking up poets.


You don’t Israel.
You a militarized ethnostate that demands loyalty while systematically erasing an entire indigenous people.


If Palestinians must denounce Hamas, why doesn’t Israel denounce:
• Price tag settlers who torch olive groves?
• IDF soldiers filming TikToks with detained children?
• Rabbis preaching supremacy over goyim?


Israel can win the war, but it’s losing the narrative.
You can bomb hospitals, bury journalists, even kidnap language—but history is watching.

And like every empire before it, your cruelty will be ed far longer than your justifications.

Free Palestine.

What does terrorism have to do with the occupied West Bank?
Use your brain for once

Judea and Samaria have always been occupier by people who are NOT Jews
Even your story book (bible) had a derogatory name for them (gentiles)
Then even if you want to go way back
Abraham was a refugee settler in the area, coming from God knows where

If those people knew that this was what it was gonna come down to millenniums down the line
They would have just driven him out

Now look at it

Cry cry baby...
It's not the first time neither will it be the Last.
Even in ISRAEL, President of and other diplomats had to run to hide when rockets were fired in Jerusalem.
In a place or location of War, Anything could happen.
It's the Tactical acumen of the World's Moral army , the IDF, that Ensured they were not Hit.

Stop Crying about!
Say No to TERRORISTS and Terrorism




Terrorism comes with Price.
Mind you, [b]Judea and Samaria[/b]are Biblical Heartlands of the Jews since time immemorial.

The Manufactured Entity does not Exists. They belong to the Jordan, Egypt, etc
The Children of ISRAEL are purging their Land from TERRORISTS.

Also the IDF, whom you call Israeli diper force are the ones responsible for Pounding and Ensuring your brothers are VIRGINATED...

Say No to TERRORISTS!

If u apply a tenth of the capacity of the brain in you, you will not pour out these bold trash.
RodgersAkpafu:


What does terrorism have to do with the occupied West Bank?
Use your brain for once

Judea and Samaria have always been occupier by people who are NOT Jews
Even your story book (bible) had a derogatory name for them (gentiles)
Then even if you want to go way back
Abraham was a refugee settler in the area, coming from God knows where

If those people knew that this was what it was gonna come down to millenniums down the line
They would have just driven him out

Now look at it
A useless Zionist state committing land theft and genocide
