Israeli troops fire warning shots at diplomats visiting West Bank
ai generated text
Israeli troops fired warning shots towards a delegation of 25 foreign diplomats who were visiting a refugee camp in the city of Jenin in the West Bank. The incident occurred when the delegation deviated from the approved route, according to the Israeli military. However, the Palestinian Authority's Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused Israel of having "deliberately targeted" the delegation with live fire, calling it a "heinous crime."
This incident is a stark reminder of the lax use of excessive force routinely deployed by Israeli security forces in the West Bank, often with lethal consequences.
We definitely call on Israel to investigate this incident and also hold those accountable who are responsible for this.
It is prohibited to open fire against civilians, even under the laws of war. And, of course, these people were also under diplomatic protection.
Today's events in Jenin are unacceptable. I have spoken to our diplomats who were affected. Civilians must always be protected and diplomats allowed to do their jobs. There must be a full investigation and those responsible should be held accountable.
I am shocked and appalled at reports that the IDF fired shots in the vicinity of a visit to Jenin today by a group of diplomats, including two Irish diplomats based in Ramallah.
We call on the government of Israel to immediately clarify what happened. Threats against diplomats are unacceptable.
I have just instructed the Secretary General of the Ministry ofForeign Affairs to summon the Israeli Ambassador to Rome toobtain official clarifications on what happened in Jenin.
I have just spoken with Alessandro Tutino, the deputy consul of Italy in Jerusalem, who is safe and was among the diplomats reportedly attacked with gunfire near the Jenin refugee camp. We urge the Israeli government to clarify the incident immediately. Threats against diplomats are unacceptable.
The ministry holds the Israeli occupying government fully and directly responsible for this criminal assault and affirms that such acts will not pass without accountability.
