LONDON (AA) - The UK on Friday called on Israel to prevent the killing of Palestinians in the West Bank by Israeli settlers.

"Reports of Palestinian civilians being killed by settlers across the West Bank are appalling. Israel must prevent these acts of violence and hold those responsible to account," the Foreign Office said on X.

It also posted an image of British Foreign Secretary David Cameron, accompanied by Daniel Seidermann, an Israeli lawyer and peace campaigner, standing at a viewpoint overlooking the West Bank.

"Looking over the West Bank, David Cameron heard about the impact of settlement expansion and settler violence," it said.
