France condemns Israeli ministers' call for Palestinian emigration from Gaza
France on Wednesday described as "provocative" comments made by Israeli ministers calling for Palestinians to emigrate from Gaza and Jewish settlers to return to the besieged territory.
"France condemns the comments of Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir," the French foreign ministry said in a statement, after Ben-Gvir's statements on Monday and Smotrich's on Sunday. "We call on Israel to refrain from such provocative declarations, which are irresponsible and fuel tensions."
