TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC)-France has called on the Tel Aviv regime to show restraint and protect the lives of civilians after Israeli troops killed at least 17 Palestinians during Friday's Land Day peaceful demonstration.
"France reminds the Israeli authorities of their duty to protect civilians and urges them to show the greatest restraint," said a French Foreign Ministry spokeswoman in a statement rereleased on Friday.
"France also highlights the Palestinians' right to peacefully demonstrate," added that statement.
On Friday, at least 17 Palestinians lost their lives and more than 1,400 others sustained injuries when Israeli military forces opened fire on thousands of protesters who had flocked to a sit-in near the Gaza border.
Meanwhile, Israel has rejected calls for an independent investigation after the Tel Aviv regime's acts of aggression along the border fence with the Gaza Strip.
