France’s foreign ministry said it had summoned Israel’s ambassador to tell him that an incident in Jerusalem that saw armed Israeli security forces entering a property administered by France should never be repeated, Reuters reports.

The French foreign ministry said in a statement the ambassador had been told the presence of armed Israeli security forces and the arrest of the French officials at the site were “unacceptable”, especially between allies with strong ties.

“Measures will be put in place to ensure that such acts do not recur,” it said without elaborating.

Israel’s foreign ministry has said that every visiting foreign leader is accompanied by its security personnel, a point that had been “clarified in advance in the preparatory dialogue with the French Embassy in Israel”.
