EU High Representative Catherine Ashton Tuesday strongly condemned the setting on fire and vandalising of the Al-Nurayn mosque in Qusra in the West Bank on Monday. \"Attacks against places of worship undermine the freedom of religion or belief which is a fundamental human right. The High Representative calls on the Israeli authorities to investigate the attack, bring the perpetrators to justice and prevent such attacks happening again,\" Ashton\'s spokesperson Michael Mann said in a statement. \"These provocations seriously undermine efforts to build the necessary trust for a comprehensive peace in the region. The EU will continue to work for a peaceful and negotiated resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,\" added the statement.
