France has condemned violence by Israeli settlers in the West Bank, calling it a “policy of terror” aimed at displacing Palestinians and urging Israeli authorities to protect Palestinians from the violence, Reuters reports.

Speaking to reporters, foreign ministry spokesperson Anne-Claire Legendre also said that about half the 100 tonnes of aid France had sent to Gaza had entered the enclave.

She added it was not up to Israel to decide the future governance of Gaza, which she said should be part of a future Palestinian state.
