The United Nations is demanding that Israel do more to stop settler violence against Palestinian farmers, as pressure mounts over the issue. The development comes alongside renewed warnings from Benjamin Netanyahu about a possible attack before Israel’s elections.
Mr Netanyahu has again warned that Israel’s “enemies” are planning an assault ahead of the vote, though his opposition has dismissed the claim as a political tactic.
The competing developments have placed renewed focus on both settler violence and the political tensions surrounding Israel’s elections.
