Several countries — including France, Spain, Canada and the UK — have summoned their respective Israeli ambassadors after Israeli forces fired towards a group of European Union and Arab diplomats in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, Al Jazeera notes.

Uruguay’s Foreign Ministry has now announced that it has summoned Ambassador Michal Hershkovitz and asked him to “clarify the reported facts” as to why the shots were fired.

A Uruguayan representative was among the foreign diplomats fired upon on yesterday.
