Paris will summon Israel’s ambassador over warning shots fired by the IDF during a visit by diplomats in the West Bank, Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot says.

Barrot calls the warning shots “unacceptable” and says the envoy will be called in “to offer an explanation.” He adds that one French diplomat was part of the visiting delegation.

Italy earlier said it would summon Israel’s envoy over the incident.
