In conjunction with the 7-year anniversary of the burning death of the Palestinian Dawabshah family, the European Union condemned the escalation of settler violence in the West Bank and called for an investigation into the killing of a Palestinian boy two days ago in the village of Al-Mugheir, north of the West Bank

EU spokesman Shadi Osman said on Sunday: "We are saddened by another victim of settler violence, Amjad Nashda Abu Ali, 15, who was killed on Friday in the village of Al-Mugheir."

He added: "We call for an investigation into the circumstances of the killing of the Palestinian child. the European Union strongly condemns the increase in settler violence and the increase in the number of victims, including children ".

"The cameras recorded the presence of a large number of settlers in the village of Al-Mugheir, resulting in clashes with young Palestinians, where the child Abu Alia was killed."

In this context, Palestinians on the European Union's Facebook page demanded that not only a conviction and practical steps be taken to hold perpetrators accountable.

"The expression of grief is not enough. It must be a practical position on the ground."

The activist and Salal Abu Alia also demanded that the European Union, on behalf of Palestinian victims' families, "punish the Israeli army and settlers".

Abu Alia said: "We the martyrs call on the European Union to take measures and sanctions against the occupation army and settlers, so that their crimes against our people do not continue."

At the end of July 2015, a group of Israeli settlers carried out the crime of setting fire to the house of the Dawabshah family in the village of Douma in the northern West Bank city of Nablus, killing Father Saad, Mother Reham and their infant son Ali, while only the young child, Ahmed Dawabshah, survived.
