Israel’s Ambassador to France summoned (12.11.24)

Today, the Ambassador of Israel to France was summoned to the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs following an incident that took place at France's Eleona domain during the Minister's visit to Jerusalem on November 7.

The Ambassador was informed that the presence of armed Israeli security forces at the Eleona domain and the arrest of two gendarmes from the Consulate General of France in Jerusalem who hold diplomatic status were unacceptable, especially in the case of two countries with strong, bilateral relations and in the context of a visit whose goal was to de-escalate tensions. Measures will be taken to guarantee that no such acts happen again.
