French FM: Israeli response to attack could 'raise tensions'

French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault warned on Friday that Israel's decision to bar Palestinians from entering its territory following the Tel Aviv attack could raise tensions and lead to more violence, AFP reports.

"The decision by the Israeli authorities today to revoke tens of thousands of entry permits could stoke tensions which could lead to a risk of escalation," said Ayrault.
