This is the best summary I could come up with:


Australia has joined more than a dozen other countries and the European Union in issuing a joint statement expressing "grave concern" about violent attacks by extremist settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank.

Australia, Canada, France and the United Kingdom are among the nations that have called out the violence, demanding Israel take "immediate and concrete steps" to tackle it.

"We strongly condemn the violent acts committed by extremist settlers, which are terrorising Palestinian communities," the statement shared by Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) said.

It also highlighted that since the beginning of October there had been 343 violent attacks in the West Bank — killing eight Palestinians and injuring dozens more, as well as forcing more than 1,000 people from their homes.

The statement also called for Israel to protect Palestinian civilians in the West Bank, adding that those responsible for the violence must be brought to justice.

Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland were also among the countries that joined the statement, issued late on Friday.
