Canada on Wednesday condemned worsening violence by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank and demanded a halt to the expansion of Israeli settlements there.
According to United Nations figures, 18 Palestinians have been killed in incidents linked to settler attacks so far this year, compared with 17 in the whole of 2025.
"Canada condemns the ongoing violence in the West Bank. The expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank must stop. These settlements are illegal under international law," the foreign ministry said in a post on X.
