Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe British minister for the Middle East and North Africa, Hamish Falconer, says he has spoken to diplomats who were affected by Israeli soldiers’ fire near a diplomatic delegation in the West Bank, and says an investigation is needed.
“Today’s events in Jenin are unacceptable. I have spoken to our diplomats who were affected,” Falconer says in a post on X.
“Civilians must always be protected, and diplomats allowed to do their jobs. There must be a full investigation and those responsible should be held accountable.”
