French President Emanuel Macron has scolded the Israel police as they have provocatively accompanied the President to a church, which falls under the French territory.

The church, situated in Israel, was gifted to the Ottoman Empire to France for the latter’s support in a war.

The action resembles the one happened during the visit of former French President Jacques Chirac. During the visit of Mr. Chirac in the year 1996, the Israel police provocatively shoved the Palestinians, journalists and his aides who accompanied him to the church.

Then, in order to deescalate the tension, the Israel government apologised to the French government, saying that their intention was to protect a friend.

The Israel government has not yet responded to the latest incident.

Mr. Macron is in Palestine to attend a function hosted by a Jewish organisation to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.

At this moment, it remains unclear whether the incident will affect the relation between Israel and France.

It is a well-known truth that Israel aims to establish its dominance over the entire of Jerusalem.

It is yet to be ascertained whether the action of the Israel police has anything to do with the said mindset of the country.
