France condemns demolitions, says they’re a ‘direct threat’ to two-state solution
PARIS — France condemns a move by Israel to demolish Palestinian buildings near Jerusalem, saying the destruction sets a “dangerous precedent” and violates international law.
“France condemns the demolition by the Israeli army of several buildings in the area of Wadi al Hummus, in the southeast of Jerusalem,” a statement from the French foreign ministry says.
“These demolitions have taken place for the first time in an area controlled by the Palestinian Authority under the Oslo Accords. They represent a dangerous precedent, which poses a direct threat to the two-state solution,” it adds.
