Diplomats from Belgium, Canada, Denmark, the EU, Finland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden and the UK issued a joint statement condemning Israel's mass demolition following their visit to the village of Um al-Kheir in Hebron, occupied West Bank.

The statement noted that this was the largest demolition since 7 October, and it impacted residential structures, a community centre and an electricity generator. The delegation called on Israel to respect its obligations under the fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits forcible transfer.
