Israeli troops fired “warning shots” during a visit by foreign diplomats to the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, May 21, the military said, drawing condemnation as pressure mounted on Israel to allow aid into war-battered Gaza.
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas urged Israel to hold to account those responsible for the shooting near Jenin, a stronghold of Palestinian armed groups and a frequent target of Israeli raids.
The Palestinian foreign ministry accused Israel of having “deliberately targeted with live fire an accredited diplomatic delegation.” A European diplomat said the group had gone to the area “to see the destruction” caused by months of Israeli operations.
Foreign diplomats should start treating netanyahu’s regime like one that shoots at diplomats and calls it “warning shots” when they miss.
