France has strongly condemned the acts of violence carried out against the Armenian community in the Old City of Jerusalem, which comes after multiple attacks in recent months by violent extremists.
“It is the responsibility of the Israeli authorities to prevent such acts of violence, as well as any challenge to the status quo,” the French Embassy in Jerusalem said in a post on X.
“France reiterates its solidarity with the Armenian community of the Old City of Jerusalem and will continue to monitor its situation with the greatest attention,” the Embassy said.
