The French deputy ambassador to Israel, Mikaël Griffon, was summoned for a reprimand by the Israeli Foreign Ministry following France's recognition of a Palestinian state. During the meeting, Israeli officials accused France of undermining Israel's security and interfering in sensitive negotiations, including those related to hostages and a potential ceasefire. The Israeli Foreign Ministry criticized France for what it called baseless claims about Israel's security and for shifting its position on the conditions for recognizing a Palestinian state. In response, France has not issued an apology and continues to voice criticism of Israel's actions, including calling for the cessation of a humanitarian aid fund operating in Gaza.
