French Foreign Affairs Minister Jean-Noel Barrot has summoned the Israeli ambassador due to an incident where diplomats encountered warning shots from Israeli soldiers during a visit to Jenin in the West Bank. Despite no reported injuries, Barrot condemned the act as unacceptable. Israel's Foreign Ministry stated the diplomats deviated from their route, which prompted the warnings. Other European officials, including the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, also called for a formal explanation, while multiple parties condemned the act as a violation of international law.
Israel's Foreign Ministry stated that warning shots were fired because the diplomats had 'deviated from the approved route,' regretting the inconvenience caused.
Kaja Kallas emphasized that threats to diplomats' lives are unacceptable and those responsible must be held accountable, highlighting the serious nature of the incident.
