France condemns rocket fire, civilian deaths in Gaza
None
Paris "condemns in the strongest terms the recent firing of missiles, rockets and mortar bombs" against civilians in Israel and "deplores the humanitarian consequences of Israeli military operations" in response, the Quai d'Orsay said Friday.
"The firing of an antitank missile on a school bus is (...) a new escalation" and "we call for the immediate cessation of violence," French Foreign Minister Bernard Valero said at a press conference. (AFP)
