France expresses its concern over stepped up Israeli military operations in the Jenin, Tulkarem and Tubas camps in the northern West Bank, which have resulted in numerous civilian casualties.
France calls on the Israeli authorities to exercise the utmost restraint in the use of force and to ensure the protection of civilian populations, in accordance with international humanitarian law.
These operations have reportedly already resulted in the displacement of 40,000 Palestinians. France emphasizes that the forcible displacement of populations is contrary to international law and calls on the Israeli authorities to allow civilians displaced by these operations to swiftly return home.
