France condemns Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s call for Israel’s annexation of the West Bank.
“These remarks are contrary to international law and undermine efforts to de-escalate regional tensions,” says the French Foreign Ministry spokesperson.
“France reiterates its commitment to the implementation of the two-state solution, with Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace and security, as the only viable prospect for a just and lasting resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”
