France and UK concerned about violence Gaza

paris - France and the United Kingdom call on the Israeli authorities to exercise restraint after more than forty people were killed on Monday according to the Palestinian authorities. In addition, the US decision to move its embassy to Jerusalem violates international law, French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said.

'France calls on all actors to show responsibility to prevent a new escalation,' said Le Drian. 'France again appeals to the Israeli authorities to exercise discernment and restraint in the use of force that must be strictly proportionate. '

A spokesperson for British Prime Minister Theresa May also insisted on restraint. 'We insist on calm and reluctance to avoid actions that are destructive to peace efforts. 'The UK remains committed to a two-state solution with Jerusalem as a shared capital. '
