Turkey condemns Israeli soldiers firing on diplomats in West Bank, calls for investigation

ANKARA, May 21 (Reuters) - Turkey's foreign ministry condemned "in the strongest terms" the firing of gunshots on diplomats, including from Turkey, during a visit in the West Bank town of Jenin, adding Ankara was calling for an immediate investigation and accountability.

"This attack, which endangered the lives of diplomats, is yet another demonstration of Israel's systematic disregard for international law and human rights," the ministry said in a statement, adding a diplomat from its consulate in Jerusalem was part of the group.

"The targeting of diplomats constitutes a grave threat not only to individual safety but also to the mutual respect and trust that form the foundation of inter-state relations."
