A wave of diplomatic backlash is mounting after Israeli forces opened fire near a delegation of European and Arab diplomats in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin.
France, Spain, the UK, and Canada have all summoned their Israeli ambassadors to demand answers following the incident, which targeted foreign representatives visiting the area.
Uruguay has now joined them. Its foreign ministry said it summoned Israeli ambassador Michal Hershkovitz and called for an explanation after a Uruguayan official was among those reportedly shot at.
The shooting has drawn sharp condemnation, with many accusing Israel of showing disregard for diplomatic norms and escalating an already volatile situation in the occupied territory.
