Shooting of Palestinians waiting for aid unjustified, France says

France said on Thursday the shooting of more than 100 Palestinians as they waited for an aid delivery was "unjustifiable" and all light had to be shed on the incident.

"In any event, it is Israel's responsibility to comply with the rules of international law and to protect the distribution of humanitarian aid to civilian populations," Christophe Lemoine, deputy spokesperson for the foreign ministry, said in a statement.
