Fire On Diplomats West Bank: Israeli troops fired “warning shots” at a group of foreign diplomats visiting the occupied West Bank, sparking widespread condemnation. The incident occurred near the city of Jenin, a frequent target of Israeli military raids, as the diplomats were on an official mission to observe the humanitarian situation.
The delegation, comprising ambassadors and diplomats from over 30 countries, including Italy, Canada, Egypt, Jordan, and the UK, was forced to run for cover after shots were fired. The Israeli military claimed the diplomats deviated from the approved route, entering a restricted zone, which prompted troops to fire warning shots to steer them away.
No one was injured in the incident, but the Israeli military’s explanation didn’t placate the international community. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ spokesman called the incident “unacceptable,” emphasizing that diplomats should never be shot at or attacked.
International Reactions:
– Canada: Prime Minister Mark Carney demanded an immediate explanation, calling the incident “totally unacceptable.” Canada’s Foreign Minister Anita Anand summoned Israel’s ambassador to Ottawa.
– Egypt: Denounced the shooting as a breach of “all diplomatic norms.”
– Turkey: Demanded an immediate investigation, stating that the perpetrators must be held accountable.
– European Union: EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas urged Israel to hold accountable those responsible for the shooting.
