LONDON, Dec 15 (Reuters) - Britain and more than a dozen partner countries including Australia, Canada and France, called on Israel to take immediate and concrete steps to tackle settler violence in the occupied West Bank.
"This rise in extremist settler violence committed against Palestinians is unacceptable," the countries said in a joint statement published by the British government on Friday.
"Proactive steps must now be taken to ensure the effective and immediate protection of Palestinian communities."
