France Summons Israeli Ambassador Over Staff Arrests
News summary

France's Foreign Ministry summoned Israel's ambassador following the Nov. 7 arrest of two French consulate staff in Jerusalem, an incident deemed 'unacceptable' by French officials. Armed Israeli security forces entered the Eléona site, a French-owned location, during Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot's planned visit, prompting him to cancel the trip. The French minister emphasized that such actions by Israeli forces are intolerable, especially given the diplomatic status of the detained staff. Israel's foreign ministry, however, described the episode as a misunderstanding, asserting that all visiting foreign leaders are accompanied by Israeli security personnel. Barrot announced that measures would be implemented to prevent similar incidents in the future, underscoring the seriousness of the situation. This diplomatic row comes amid heightened security concerns related to an upcoming France-Israel football match.
