"France condemns the destruction by the Israeli army of several buildings in the Wadi al-Hummus quarter, which is located in the south-east of Jerusalem," RIA Novosti quotes him.

As the representative of the foreign ministry noted, the demolition is contrary to international law and UN Security Council resolutions.

The French ministry also stressed that these actions "constitute a dangerous precedent."

Earlier, the TV channel "Star" reported that the Israeli military began to demolish the homes of Palestinians. The Israeli authorities explained this decision as a matter of security.
