Amman, Aug. 14 (Petra)-- France on Friday strongly condemned Israeli settlers’ takeover of several Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank town of Qusra, calling on Israel to arrest and prosecute those responsible.

In a statement carried by France 24, the French Foreign Ministry said France "strongly condemns" the takeover of Palestinian homes in Qusra, as well as the violence committed against Palestinian civilians.
The ministry called on the Israeli authorities to "arrest the perpetrators and bring them to justice."

The statement came on the same day that Israel reopened a settlement in the northern occupied West Bank, more than 20 years after it was dismantled.
