The Israeli military fired warning shots at a large delegation of European and Arab diplomats on an official visit to the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, drawing swift condemnation.

Delegations from more than 20 countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Canada and others, were on an official mission to see the humanitarian situation in the besieged camp, according to the Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which called the incident a “deliberate and unlawful act.”

Videos on social media show delegation members giving media interviews when shots are heard ringing out close to the group and forcing it to run for cover.

    “The threats against diplomats are unacceptable,” the country’s [Italy] Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani added in a social media post on X.

    Oh, but a 2 year genocide and crackdown on anyone pointing it out was acceptable? Fuck these cunts

      You think they’ll stand up for Palestinians when they won’t for their own diplomats?
