Spokeswoman for the Foreign Ministry, Anne Claire Legendre, emphasized that her country is following with grave concern the ongoing violence and situation in the West Bank, referring to settlers’ violent rampage since yesterday in the occupied West Bank, particularly in the town of Huwwara in Nablus.

The ministry’s spokeswoman stressed in a press statement that violence against Palestinian civilians is “unacceptable”.

France called on the Israeli government, as part of its responsibilities as an occupying power, to protect Palestinian civilians and hold accountable the perpetrators of the violent acts in Huwwara town.
