UN special coordinator for the Middle East peace process Robert Serry...said in a statement Saturday. "Desecrating a place of worship is deplorable,"..."This attack is part of a broader and ongoing phenomenon of settler violence against Palestinian civilians, property, and land," Serry said. "Far too little is done by the Israeli authorities to enforce the rule of law on violent extremists, leading to a climate of impunity."

"The presidency of the European Union is dismayed at the vandalization, Swedish Consul General to Jerusalem Nils Eliasson said. Eliasson said the EU leadership "expects the Israeli authorities to bring those responsible to justice as a matter of urgency."...
