Türkiye has condemned escalating settler violence in the occupied Palestinian territories after four Palestinians were killed during a confrontation involving Israeli settlers, troops and residents near the West Bank city of Nablus.

The Foreign Ministry said the four Palestinians were killed by “settler terrorists encouraged by the Netanyahu government,” describing the incident as “a consequence of Israel’s ongoing genocidal policy.”

It called on the international community to ensure that those responsible for attacks and the seizure of Palestinian land were brought to justice.
