Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has summoned the Israeli ambassador after warning shots were fired at diplomats visiting the flashpoint West Bank city of Jenin, AFP reports.
Tajani said on X that he had instructed his ministry to “summon the Israeli Ambassador to Rome to obtain official clarifications on what happened in Jenin”.
Tajani said earlier he had spoken to Alessandro Tutino, the Deputy Consul General of Italy in Jerusalem, “who is well and who was among the diplomats who were apparently shot at near the Jenin refugee camp”.
“We call on the government of Israel to immediately clarify what happened. Threats against diplomats are unacceptable,” he said on X.
