'We express our profound shock and strong condemnation of the repeated and ongoing demolition, by Israeli forces, of structures belonging to Palestinian families in Humsa Al Bqai'a and surrounding communities in the occupied West Bank, since 1 February 2021.'
"I am deeply shocked by the scale of the demolition inflicted by Israeli authorities on eleven families, including 40 children and one elderly person, of the community of Humsa Al Bqai'a (also referred to as Khirbet Hamsa al-Foqa) in the northern Jordan Valley, in the occupied West Bank."
"I condemn in the strongest terms the execution of Navid Afkari in Iran on 12 September 2020."
Preliminary test results published by the Charité hospital in Berlin indicate that one of the main figures of the political opposition in Russia, Alexei Navalny was poisoned. I join my EU colleagues in wishing Mr Navalny a prompt and full recovery and expressing our sympathy to his family at this difficult time.
