JENIN, May 21, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces Wednesday fired live ammunition at a diplomatic delegation while it was at the entrance to Jenin camp to view the tragic situation in the camp.
WAFA correspondent said that occupation soldiers stationed in Jenin camp fired live ammunition directly and heavily at the diplomatic delegation while it was in the vicinity of Jenin camp to view the camp's conditions and the siege imposed on it.
She noted that while the delegation was near the iron gate the occupation forces had installed at the eastern entrance to the camp, occupation soldiers opened heavy fire at the delegation and a group of journalists covering the visit.
A diplomatic delegation from Arab and foreign ministries visited the Jenin Governorate headquarters on Wednesday morning and reviewed the situation in the city and camp.
The governor provided a detailed explanation of the city's economic situation, the impact of the aggression on the city's facilities, commercial losses, and the destruction of infrastructure, in addition to the conditions of the 22,000 displaced persons forced by the occupation forces to leave their homes in the camp.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned the occupation's targeting of the diplomatic delegation, stressing that this aggressive act constitutes a flagrant and serious violation of international law and the most basic rules of diplomatic relations stipulated in the 1961 Vienna Convention, which guarantees the protection and immunity of diplomatic missions and delegations.
It said it also represents a dangerous escalation in the occupation's behavior and reflects a systematic disregard for international law, the sovereignty of the State of Palestine, and the sanctity of state representatives on its territory.
The delegation included the ambassadors of Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, the European Union, Portugal, China, Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Turkey, Spain, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Turkey, Japan, Romania, Mexico, Sri Lanka, Canada, India, Chile, France, the United Kingdom, and several representatives of other countries.
