jerusalem/lille - According to prosecutors, a driver from the French consulate in Jerusalem has smuggled numerous firearms from the Palestinian Gaza Strip to the Israeli West Bank in the last three months. 24-year-old Romain Franck from Northern France, according to Israeli media, has known and would have had money as a motive. He is reportedly on Monday for a special court in Beersheba.

The man could easily pass Israeli checkpoints with his diplomatic status and with a car from the consulate. He has maintained this until his arrest in February, which kept the Israeli Intelligence Service secret for weeks. A Palestinian has also been arrested in the case.
