France Summons North Korean Diplomat Over Troop Deployment

France's foreign ministry is taking diplomatic actions in response to two significant international incidents. First, it plans to summon Israel's ambassador after Israeli police entered the French-owned Eleona church compound in Jerusalem and briefly detained two French gendarmes, with France asserting the site as its territory under international treaties. Second, France summoned North Korea's general delegate in Paris to protest the deployment of North Korean troops to Russia, warning of potential consequences for supporting Russia's war against Ukraine. French officials have expressed readiness to coordinate with international partners, indicating that sanctions may be considered as part of their response. These incidents highlight France's proactive stance in addressing international tensions and its commitment to protecting its diplomatic interests. The situation surrounding both Israel and North Korea illustrates the complexities and challenges faced by France in global diplomacy.
