Qatar condemns Israel for shooting at EU diplomats in Jenin

Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has strongly condemned the Israeli army for opening fire on an international diplomatic delegation visiting the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.

In a statement, Doha described the incident as a “blatant violation” of international laws, conventions, and diplomatic norms. The ministry urged the international community to fulfil its moral and legal obligations by holding Israel accountable for its violations.

‘There must be a full investigation,’ UK minister says after shots fired in Jenin

Hamish Falconer, the British minister for the Middle East and North Africa, has described the incident today in Jenin as “unacceptable”.

“I have spoken to our diplomats who were affected,” Falconer said in a post on X. “Civilians must always be protected, and diplomats allowed to do their jobs.”

Israel has yet to comment on the wave of condemnation from European countries and the UN after it acknowledged that its forces fired near a group of diplomats in the northern West Bank city today.

Earlier, the Israeli military said that it “regrets the inconvenience caused”.
